A friend has a 1994 Mercedes E180. Yesterday the window wiper stopped working. I've checked and the fuse hasn't gone - you can hear the motor whirring.
I'm able to move the wiper across the windscreen with little resistance
- it's as though the wiper has come off it's spindle.
I haven't been able to investigate any further because I can't work out how to get at the wiper mechanism. There is a big plastic cover at the base of the wiper and I can't see how this comes off.
Anyone any suggestions? Are there common problems with these types of wiper?
