Hi Dana, welcome to Vanagons and the list.

Could you explain your situation a bit more fully?  If you're talking
about attaching the wiper arm to its shaft, the male thread is part
of the shaft; and the easiest way to deal with it stripping or
breaking off is to drill and tap the shaft for M6x1.  There's an
article on GoWesty.com and some recent list discussion - search the
archives at www.gerry.vanagon.com for windshield wiper repair since
the beginning of August.

If that's not it, you'll have to amplify your description.

Yours,
David
