Windshield Wiper Issues?

I have a VW jetta 1996, i recently bought. I noticed I am completely missing one of the windshield wipers (the passenger side) and the one wiper (driver side) only works on high. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? And any part‘s ill need. Thank you!

Answer:

For passenger wiper, have it in assy with the stick. For driver side, seems the last owner is teenage that want look different by any, please adjust the blade position into level or trace by the look any sign at windshield such as clean and cleaner part. For works on high, please make sure there is power from battery to the motor thru the switch, make sure all contact clean and tight. If the problem still appear, you may need new motor and that's may the cause the passenger side been left off, the motor being bad and no power to turn two blades.
Have you got the wheelbox? This is the lump that sticks out of the bodywork and holds the end of the wiper arm. If that's missing, have a delve inside and see if there's any connection for it. If it's there and it works, you'll need a wiper arm and blade. If the wiper(s) park correctly when switched off then you'll need to have an auto-electrician look at the wiper motor and gearbox. If the wipers don't park, you'll probably need a new wiper motor. You'll NEED to get a good workshop manual to help you. Good luck!
