Default Windshield Wipers

May seem kind of amatuer, but I'm having an issue with my windshield wipers.

Last week, my windshield wipers started malfunctioning. The drivers side wiper was getting stuck under the passenger side wiper. It was kind of hit and miss . . . sometimes it would do it, sometimes it wouldn't. On one occasion, they snagged eachother mid-wipe and the drivers side wiper (not the arm) ended up bent. Now, the drivers side wiper arm has quit working all together, and the passenger side wiper arm works like normal.

So, my question to you is. Why do you think the wiper isn't working. I know HOW it got screwed up, but don't know what the fix to the problem is.

Thanks for any input.

maby where the wiper connects got stripped out.... at the base of the wiper thier is a circle plastic cover, pop it of with a flat head and then remove the nut, then see it the groves are stripped.... thats my guess
