    Is this easy to do? I can get the part fairly cheaply, but if I can save on the labor I would like to. I bought my prius new in 2005, and I still have it, even though I also have a tacoma. Because the Prius is my "second vehicle" now, I am trying to save on repairs. Thanks!

    Sorry but I am not quite sure what you are asking.

    The wiper motor drive both wipers left and right.

    If right hand side has stopped moving it is probable that the nut under the cover at the bottom end of the wiper arm on that side has come loose and needs re tightening.

    Can you give more detail?

    OK yes, the right side doesn't move but the left side does. It may have to do with when I was clearing the snow off my car, maybe I did something to it. I will check the right side cover tomorrow when there is sunlight. I will let you know what I find. Thanks!
