Wiper bolt snapped in half. Will wiper fly off during operation?

I remove the wiper nut and while tightening it, it snapped off even though I was using the right torque 17.4 lb/ft.

It seems like the bolt is integrated with the main wiper mechanism and it is $$$$ to replace.

What are my options? Will the wiper blade fly off without the nut securing it?

Is there any way to glue the broken bolt back?

shabs is infamous around these parts
I would not trust any glue, no matter what the claimed strength is!....can it be spot welded back, I'm sure a local bodyshop would be able to do it, depending where the break actually is.

Hello Lilo,
I have a complete wiper linkage with the motor for sale, you call see it on my thread in the marketplace here on 6SPEED.
There is one on eBay for $590 from Germany, and one at Flying Spurs for $635, or mine for $490, if you do not want the motor, I will work with you on price, also the stud in held in by a C clip as shown in pictures, but that would be breaking apart a perfectly good linkage assembly.....
You can call me at 908 507 6357
Johnny.
