Broken Wiper Clip

Broken Wiper Clip
Long story short, the little clip that connects wiper arm with blade assembly broke and I'm w/o wipers.
So at this moment, I looked at assembly replacement and none seem to contain that "missing" clip, I looked briefly at Aero blades and it seems that I need to buy an "upgrade" kit for like $100+, so what are my options? and what exactly are those Aero wipes (durability, performance, etc)

I did the same thing. I used a zip tie for probably a year, until my dealer
saw it at my 40k service and replaced it under warranty, no questions asked. They dont sell that little arm piece as a separate end item.
So, you have to buy a new arm, if out of warranty. Given the rave review the aeros get, since you have to buy an arm and may need to wipers, you're 3/4 of the way there, so I'd get the aeros. ECS Tuning sells the kit, your dealer of course prbably has them, and probably a couple other places.

OEM Aero Kit
Dealer said that I may need "linkage" for it as they may be different size or something like that. If it consists of just swapping arms I may as well get it.
Dealer quoted $40 per arm plus blades (around $20), but special order item.
It's the same price as for regular arm.
Do have Aero?

I don't have it now, but will be ordering in the next 2-3 weeks. Many guys here have
done the swap, and from what I can tell, it's just arms and blades. No linkage mentioned if I recall correctly.
