Has it actually snapped off?
If so you'll have to get another stalk from either a car being broken for spares or the dealer but not sure how much the dealer would charge

Yup replacement stalk.
If its like the old escort ones it would be both stalks and be a 5 minute job.

ford was going to charge me £14.68 for the rear wiper + vat, so will cost you something like that, unless you go to a breaker yard that will only cost you a couple quid.

Its not the actual wiper, it's the stalk behind the steering wheel.
I wouldn't even attempt to change it myself, I would only ending up breaking something else lol.
They were £55-£80 wherever I looked, but I found one on ebay for £9.99... so I got that one lol
