I have a problem with my wipers as well. When I dismantled eveything in front of the windshield I found that I should replace the whole wiper setup, like nissanmicrak12 said. I thought that it would be really expensive, so assembled the wiper strut bar with a lot of grease. It has not unhooked since then, but I plan on drilling a hole in the metal bud and through the plastic knuckle and screwing a screw with two nuts (to keep it a little loose).
I will try to take pictures of everything.
