Hi M.B.DOC!!

Since you have joined this thread maybe you can give me some of your genious to help my 1998 C230 wiper problem. I am not trying to hijack the thread but maybe there is some relationship (or maybe not). Anyway, mine "skips" on the return path when it is about at 10:00 O'Clock to the drivers view. Even if I fold the arm "up" away from the glass it still jerks at this point. It has nothing to do with the blade. I have tried every kind of grease, spray and oil on the 2 guides under the cover. Nothing makes any difference. I assume I have to pull the whole mechanism out. What will I find? What causes this?

Thanks,

Mike
