2005 Jetta wiper blade problem?

Today while coming down the highway my 05 New Jetta's driver side wiper blade decided to over extend itself to where it was partly hanging off the edge of the windshield. I quickly pushed it back onto the windshield surface, stoppped, and moved it back down to its proper spot but now when I turn them on, only the passenger side blade moves. Any suggestions?

  • Pop the Cover over the attachment.

    Remove the 10mm nut.

    Take the arm off the pivot.

    Clean the splines of corrosion. Use a small wire brush but tape the area around the shaft to prevent the accidental scrape of the paint with the wire brush,

    Clean the inside of the wiper arm

    Replace the arm careful to place it in the proper position.

    Replace and tighten the nut

    Replace the plastic cover.

    If that fails then you have popped the arm off the drive gear, which you have to remove the plastic shroud that covers it and replace the arm on the ball stud.
