    You can't tell how bad the damage is from the bumper photo. I've seen much milder collisions than that cost >$2,000. My guess is this is a $5k+ repair and not worth it on this car. At least that's...

    Mine seems to do that randomly, sometimes it stops where it should, sometimes it's pointing at the sky. Funny thing is I never, ever see the wipers running nor do I seem to be able to make them run...

    I assumed your photos were of your bolt, but I guess they're generic from the internet. The new banjo bolt with check valve looks like this.

    You might get away with just new clips. If you force the window with the clips broken you'll most likely bend the regulator and have to swap it for a new one.
