Any w201 owner should do this as preventative maintenance. Honestly, I didn't until the wiper started slowing mid-swipe. I tried spraying the pivot points, but it's the inside mechanism that needs attention.

She's fixed, glad my parts guy had the replacement gear in stock. I also removed the front cover and cleaned and greased it too. My original gear was falling apart more due to heat and age than lubrication... very brittle.
There sure is a lot of moving parts in that mechanism. Who says MB's are over engineered?
