[R129 SL] Re: 500SL windshield wiper gone bezerk!

[Cliff Sadler]

Thank you sir.
After checking alldata, it appears that the plastic dome stays on the unit,
and you remove the whole assembly with 3 screws by getting behind the air
intake grill.
I'll check it out soon. I figure some screw came loose, and the linkage is
just out of whack from that.

don't know if that is possible at all, I have never opened one. The
linkage part with the up/down piston is just one unit to r&r, no
single parts available from MB. You could try to open it and see
what's wrong with it. An MB workshop would just replace the
linkage ;-)

I think the plastic cover is just clipped on.
