Your wiper arm is an older design. I believe it was updated in '03 some time. The older version is plastic and the newer arm is metal. The newer one will also accept replacement/non-OEM blades like Bosch Icons and Valeos (neither have the spring mechanism of most blades). The cost is about $30 for the arm.
