    Hello.
    I would try to fix it - by soldering, riveting.
    The photo does not show exactly the damage, but it is a pity to give up the remaining functional elements.
    if you do not feel up to it yourself, look for a small workshop, locksmith, etc. in the vicinity. Buying a new one is a last resort.
    I pick up.

    This is a pictorial photo - I have it broken exactly in the place I marked with a black line. The plastic in the middle has broken and a piece of it has been pressed in this tube

    I think it is not difficult to repair - the broken plastic from the tube can be easily removed by heating it - and in this place you can place a prepared piece of metal sheet with a thickness of 1-2 millimeters, the element to which you attach the rest. Connections of elements - hammer, rivet, solder, use epoxy glue. It all depends on how much space there is -.
    Best regards and good luck with the repair.

    You buy it in a set, you can look for something disassembling it, just pay attention to the degree of wear.

    If I picture it right, it's epoxy glue and drive. Just prepare the material well.

    The cheapest two-component (this is what you are interested in) epoxy from Dragon costs about PLN 9.

    Hello
    If I can advise you, I would replace it with a new one, the cost of PLN 115, or the cost of PLN 30. Welded gluing, metal soldering, gives mediocre results, and wipers on snow, ice or with a dry glass have quite a lot of resistance, so in order not to return to the topic, it is worth trying the above-mentioned repair.
    Ps. if you don't have anything to do with this broken mechanism, maybe we could agree on a replacement.
    Greetings Marcin

    Only exchange for stimulant.
    It's not expensive, check on aledrogoo I paid 80 zlotys for the Skoda Octavi. Lubricate the eccentrics before assembly. And you have peace of mind for years.
