Default Wiper Arm hold down clips?

Does anyone know where to get the little spring metal clips that hold the wiper arms on? I took my arms off to paint them and the clips broke. I can't find them anywhere. I hate to buy new arms just because the clips are broken. Thanks:

Hi c72,
I haven't ever seen that clip offered as a replacement part.
Could you buy a cheap pair of arms that has clips you can put on your present arms?
Sorry!
Regards,
Alan

Default Wiper arm clips

Hi Alan: I can't believe I'm the only one trying to find these clips. I'll try buying a cheap pair of arms or hitting the junk yards.
Thanks

Or you could just order some repro arms with washer lines that are currently available for $125

Hi c,
Do you know there's a little tool that's available that presses on the clip's tab to get the arm off?
Too late to save these clips, but next time...?
regards,
Alan
