... as the speed at which an unrestrained FJ40 hood will scare the bejeezus out of you on your pre-dawn commute as it crashes mercilessly into your hardtop (luckily I had the top on), bending the front edge down and putting slight bends in the windshield frame where the wiper motor shafts protrude, cracking the windshield, and breaking off both wiper blades.

I always thought I'd never be 'that guy'. Fawk.

I was too busy feeling sorry for myself to remember the tech-related question I had in mind

I have these Anco wipers:

The impact broke the little plastic hook-shaped retainers on both blades. Does anyone know of a place to find them? I've searched a bit, but without a part number, I'm not getting anywhere. Specter doesn't sell them separately, so if nothing else I'll just order the whole setup.

In the mean time, I guess I'll break out the Rain-X.
