Help! Wipers given up W202 C-Class

[BimMerc]

Hi all!

trundling along the motorway the other day, the wiper gave up! It was working fine one moment, then just stopped dead. The motor is still powering up, the mechanism loose and can be moved by hand but it goes in the right motion (up, down as it goes across the screen) any ideas people?

thanks

Almost forgot, does this fix cover the fact that the wiper isnt moving at all, or is it just for the arm motion (up and down) to reach the screen corners?
hmm bit confused!

I'm not sure, but maybe other's know.
But it's a easy enough job to do, so worth ago anyway

I used a small Allen Key, Just to unclip the cover.

Woo! Got it fixed, although it wasnt the problem as described in the web link it was useful in helping dismantle it though, took me about 2 hours to do it all from beginning to end, and I will do a write up on it (easiest fix in the world!)

thanks again for the link, it was invaluable in helping me undo the unit.
