Default drivers side windshield wiper quit

Hello!! Just bought a 95 glt wagon, love the car so far. However, the drivers side wiper has quit working on me, it will kinda work if I help it along, but once it goes to the "down" position it wont come back up. I am assuming the wiper motor is bad?? if so, how involved is the process of replacing the motor, any help/instructions would be great

Thanks

It might not be your motor. The wiper might just have loosened off. Try tightening it down.

Yes just what banj said. Tighten the nut at the end of the wiper arm. You may have to open the hood to get to it. They come lose fairly often.
