'90 300 E mono wiper update
 
The wiper blade arm on my 300E (the single blade type) is currently in an extended position, which makes the blade unusable because it hits the windshield molding in that position. It suddenly just threw out the other day.

I took off the blade and ran the wiper and it still wipes back and forth with the bob and weave motion, but it makes some unpleasant noises, like it needs some grease or something.

Did I blow out the wiper transmission? Is this part lubricated and if so where is the resevoir to add fluid to?

If I need to replace the transmission, what's it gonna set me back? :(

Thanks for any help

Thanks a bunch. Looked through old posts including MBenz's "how-to" and I think it just needs a little lube in there to operate properly.

Gonna pull it out tommorrow and check it out.

Thanks for the help

My tech actually rebuilt mine. Don't ask me how, but I know it can be done.

Well, I took out the assembly, cleaned the arm, lubed all the gears (that I could see), put it back in and it still is bobbing and weaving about 2 inches too far out. My '24 inch blade hits the molding still.

The damn thing runs and sounds just fine, but I guess it just blew out a gear or something and extended out.

So my next plan is to try a '22 inch blade, which would work perfectly, if I can find one that fits.

Anyone know if the smaller '90 models (190 etc) use a '24 inch wiper or a '22 and if so, is the blade connection to the wiper arm the same as my 300E?

Arghhh, I guess I can get a used assembly for $65 over the internet but I don't wanna take that damn thing apart again :D.

Thanks for any help

Could anyone point me towards . . . .
 
MBenz's "How To" that's referred to? Is this a website or done by searching this forum?

Thanks from a new member!
