Wiper arm replacement?

Quick question from a rookie. My drivers side wiper doesn't have enough spring power to wipe the rain off my windshield. But my passenger side Wiper arm works just fine so half my windshield is clean, but its the wrong side I really need when it rains. Can I just swap them for a quick fix? Do they just pop off and on? I just don't want to break anything trying to figure it out on my own.

Re: Wiper arm replacement?

i would just lean on over like a mailman would and look out the passenger side. no not really but is it that the wiper blade is old and stiff? or just not being pushed up against the windshield good enough?

I believe the spring inside the driver side wiper has worn out and wont push the blade against the windshield. Only the tips of the wiper are touching the windshield.
