Default Do I have to replace the whole wiper transmission ?

hello all.
Brand new here and I gotta say I love my sedona. My question is really quite simple. The transmission arm from my wiper motor to the passenger side pivot broke this morning on my way to work, leaving me with no wipers in the pouring rain Do I need to replace the whole transmission assembly , or can I just replace the one arm? I'm in a pickle because it is raining cats and dogs and I only have the one vehicle to get to work, and being a carpenter I need it to haul my tools. Greatly appreciate any help I can get with this

Unfortunately, you have to get the entire assembly. I had a similar situation where the one plastic support broke from the motorized drive. I looked high and low and couldn't come up with any alternative.

The good news is that its relatively easy to replace. Someone with basic mechanical aptitude can probably get it done in half hour. It cost me about $80 for the part at my local Kia dealer.
