Default Drivers Side Wiper just inverted...

Ok so I was driving along and a gust of wind, or something, forced the drivers side wiper blade off the windshield the opposite way it's supposed to go.

I can put it back into place, but it now refuses to move.

Does anyone have an easy fix for this? I'd really like to avoid $100 at the dealership for something so silly.

Thanks a million in advance.

See if you can remove the whole arm, there's a slide retainer on the bottoe, and look to see if the splines on the post are stripped. Then check the arm to see if it.s stripped. If either one are, that's what you need to replace, if not take it off, cycle the wipers once, and reattach the arm at the same degree as the other side.
