It is probably the link between the motor and the wiper splines. I just had to replace mine, $20 fix. Try looking on autozone under your car for the drawing of the assembly.

Yeah, that ball socket gets sloppy and falls off, happened on one of my MK3’s. You can probabally just poke your head under there and grab it and snap it back in place. Depending on how sloppy the joint is it may stay attached for a bit, or atleast for tonight

did you not clean your window off before using them? Wiper tranny isn’t bad to do on those. but as stated sometimes it’s just the ball socket wears out.
