W203 - one wiper stopped working

[garystu1965]

Driving to work this morning the left wiper stuck mid-wipe and the other wiper crashed into it on the way back. I parked up and put the dodgy wiper back in it's park position and the other wiper works normally. Does the wiper use two separate motors then ? Is there anything else that may be wrong (fuse ?)
If it is the motor that needs replacing can it easily be done myself ? How much would it cost for a dealer or garage to do ?

Lift the nut housing and just tighten the nut securing that wiper, it's happened to me on my W211 and my freinds W203.

Anyone know where you get replacement blades ? Halfords don't seem to have the right size. Has anyone else had trouble getting replacement blades for the W203 ? I don't need the whole unit just the rubber bits.

Try any motor factors, they keep them

I think they are Mercedes specific, might need to visit a stealer.

I have a Halfords trade card and a set of 22/24 spoilers blades (Bosch) set me back £7.50!!! And no, they don't do refills for 24" which is rubbish...

lower the seat and fit a shorter one, hows that for an instant fix
