Windshield Wiper Question

I noticed when I got to my destination the other day the small arm on my drivers side was hanging in the air.  At first I thought the nut had just come off but after the festival I was going to go get a new nut and I dont think that will fix it.

from the pictures what all do I need to replace?

Thanks

Thanks, I can file the end flat and use a center punch to mark it and then step drill it.

can those be replaced by just removing the cover plate show in the picture or do I have to take the dash apart to get to it?

What's the scoop about all the rust? looks like something that would have happened on one of my PNW towboats.  :o

It's not easy! But is doable. Someone on the forums just posted a video on that. Vossex2 I think.
 Never mind , I see the videos already posted.
