I had the little pin thingy break on one of my wiper arms also. As I remember, there is still a larger diameter boss on the arms. I drilled a small hole (don't remember what size) through the arm and carefully threaded a stainless #2-56 screw (about 3/8" long) into the hole, leaving the head of the screw just about where the pin thingy used to be. The spring hooked on fine. I also applied a little bit of epoxy to the threads during assembly to give it a little more strength. Whole thing took about 30 minutes.
I suppose I could have tapped the hole prior to screwing the screw in, but for some reason I didn't. I might not have had a tap available at that time.
Good luck if you decide to repair it yourself. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
