DIY - SHAME on you Toyota - Wiper linkage transmission repair 2010 Venza

This DIY video diagnoses the failure causing the windshield wipers to stop moving on a 2010 Toyota Venza.
Then it shows how to reuse one of the chrome balls (in the ball/socket) from the old transmission in the new transmission.
Doing this will avoid the rediculous expense of nearly $400 MORE dollars (on top of the $330 for the new wiper transmission). As you can tell from the title, I am not impressed with Toyota's decision to make these wearable parts easily and economically replaceable the way other vehicle manufactures have done using replaceable bushings.
