From what I read -snapping the bolt, glue….- I can only recommend you to the dealer. Ron

You could try euro car parts or GSF but the most lightly place is going to be a main dealer for a relatively new car or a scrap yard (Volks-Apart maybe) for a slightly older one. Is it one of the fronts or the rear one that you snapped? You may need the entire wiper linkage depending on the car and exactly what snapped. The final suggestion would be to go a bit easier from now on with a spanner.

Thanks for all your advices, I phoned the dealer today they said they got the parts for around
