The short rod has a keeper to hold it in place. You probably have to use your old one.

Looks like you still have the keeper.

The wiper arm bases slip over the splined shafts on the cowl area. You need to ensure they are angled properly - I don't recall is there is an alignment spline or not. The springs are fairly strong and you will have to extend the lower section so it will align with the splined shafts. The small arm on the drivers side snaps onto the stud on the cowl.

I don’t know. I’m the kind of person that figures out how to disassemble and reassemble things without a manual.

Yes, I am an engineer.
