With two of these, one on each side of the arm, maybe could cannibalize hinges & hinge pins for the purpose...
Just thinking out loud.

I disagree. You may find a solution that you use for something else.
How about this Dzus thingy? :
Pegasus - Dzus 1500 Series Sliding Latch and Bushing
The question would be whether the sliding latch would be *designed* to take the lateral stresses of the wiper in action. I think the sleeve would still need to be there, and super-snug.
