Driver's side wiper arm gimped

Anyone run into this problem yet? Yesterday we drove the CL and the left wiper wouldn't extend to fully wipe the windshield clear of water/debris. This morning I needed to get rid of the dew and the wiper barely moved 2 inches, with the right wiper overlapping it and getting tangled! Had to put 'defrost' on high and look through the passenger side to see where I was going- scary!

Any thoughts/suggestions? TIA

i had a problem like this with my cl once, but ichecked, and the wiper arm was no longer tightened to that little spline nut that bolts it to the wiper motor...its a 14mm, turn off the wipers and adjust it to lay flat witht he bottom of the windsheild, then tighten the shit out of it...B

Yeah, sounds like you need to tighten it, Tia. Hope it works.
