Windshield Wiper Stopped Working

Just had my '06 RL out in the snow and ice in New England and suddenly my driver's side wiper won't work. Passenger one still wipes, but the drivers' moves a little bit, but only a couple of inches. When I hold it, I can move it up and down the windshield manually...which leads me to believe a bolt has somehow worked loose. Is this easy for me to get to or am I going to have to have my dealer do it?

Thanks!

Brian

This happened to me one time with my 2G Legend when I was moving the wiper to winter position. It turned out a nut holding the wiper arm to wiper motor shaft (or whatever) had loosened up. I shut the wipers off, positioned the arm where it should have been at rest and used an open ended metric wrench to tighten. No issues since.
