One wiper blade stopped...

The money pit has had another day of fun.
With the rain, the wife put the wipers on and the drivers side stopped half way then dropped to the scuttle where it stays.
I assume the motors ok, as the other blade kept wiping.

Anyone had this?

I’ve had a look, and the stopped blade (drivers side) is stiff, but, it can be moved without the wipers going on,nwheras the one still working can’t. So, eiither the nit has becone loose, or tgen thread is stripped, Ira tge mech has come apart

Sounds like the wiper arm (soft material) has stripped, as you say.You may need a new arm.... Remove it, clean the alloy remains from the spindle splines. New arms come without splines, you have to position them correctly and gently tap them onto the spindles, thus cutting splines into the hole in the arm. Then refit retaining nut.
