BmwTek · #1 06-12-2002, 09:40 PM

hey guys its been a while since i ve been on.. i dunno it thats a good thing or bad thing.. hehe i am usually on when i break something.. well.. i need some help.. i broke the wipers on my w140 somehow.. i was driving through heavy rains this evening.. and all of a sudden i heard a pop and my right side wiper no longer worked.. it stayed in the upstroke position.. when i got home i tried to see what the deal was.. i cant fig it out.. the bolt holding the whole wiper arm moves while the wiper stays in a stationary position once the wipers are turned on. Another thing i have noticed is that there is a whole on the bottom of the wiper arm itself.. which looks like had a pin of some sort in it.. this is no longer present.. what can the prob be guys??

thanks again.. and i know u guys hate me for my screename.. but i am still in the process of converting.. hehe

well since you havent changed your screen name, you arent getting any help here...

hehe just kidding.

Is there a pin on the left wiper in the place the right side has it missing?

actually both sides are totally different... the driver side is a variant of what i can tell is a e class wiper.. and the right side a totally different one..

Can you take your hand and move the wiper manually? The bolt you talk about moving, is that the nut that holds the wiper on. If so maybe it just needs tightning up or it might be stripped.

yes i can move the wiper manually.. and i did tighten it already.. with teh same result.. the driver side moves but the pass. side does not.. i think i might have popped a pin out or something.. because there is a hole that looks like a pin might have been in it... i dont know.. i am asking for some advice on this.. i dont have any diagrams to look at..

thanks again guys..,,,
