[s-cars] S6 Wiper Arm concensus

[A2000sportster at aol.com]

So what's the deal on replacement driver's side wiper arms, mine just got  
stripped out last night on the way home from skiing last night! 12 degrees and  
clumps of frozen crap on the windshield. It was worth it for the skiing! Can 
you  say face shots...
 
I switched the passenger side onto the driver's side , and confirmed there  
is a difference in the arm, the passenger side rests closer to the plate  under 
the arms, and scrapes. Had the exact same thing happen to the driver's  side 
on my 91 200, and I bought a replacement mechanism with the post and  arms for 
it, On a lark grabbed those and what do ya know, the arms are the exact  same 
part number. Sold the 200, but am going to replace the arm with the extra  
one I had, so I'm all set for now!
 
These arms are definitely a part you need to carry an extra set in your  
trunk! And a 13mm socket! Course I have no idea how I would have changed it, my  
hood was encased in 4" of ice!
 
What works as a replacement, and substitutes?
