Theres a single nut that holds the arm on right at the base of the arm. It might be covered by a plastic cover. Pop that off and see if you can move the arm by hand and watch if the nut is loose or the post it bolts to stays still when you move it. If it moves then theres some plastic bushings on the wiper linkages under the plastic cowl cover that are broken/missing. If it just spins on the post and the post stays still, then the arm is stripped out. Get the bushings at the local auto parts store. The arm may be there to but if not then go to dodge
