Wiper blade locking clasp broke while drying windshield. This happened late Fri afternoon, parts department said that this is part of the entire wiper assembly. The use of plastic parts to attach the wiper blade to the arm is poor design engineering,IMO...especially in cold weather states.

Triple check to see if it is actually broke. Mine did the same, but after some fumbling,I fixed it.
