Remove the cowl and replace the linkgage with a used set. Trust me, easier then trying to fix it..

Two possible problems. One, the end of the linkage has broken (the metal end) or Two, the bushing is shot.

Either way, you need to get a new linkage. They generally fail in the same spot, so look for good condition ends.

P.S. Rainex sucks
