Ok, so I have searched the archives but can't seem to find this info I need.

I'm wanting to service the wiper gears for the winter but can't seem to figger out how to get the plastic cover off. Any advice will be taken serious as I don't want to break it!

BTW, this is on the 95 E320 wagon.

I believe you've got the "Newer" plastic cover.
(AND it kinda clips onto the wiper head.)

This might help-

It is from a "How to repair a mono-wiper"

Tools needed for repairing the wiper arm

-Small mirror
-Dental pick or small Allen wrench

Instructions:

-Raise the hood for improved access.

-With the ignition off, rotate the wiper switch to the first position.
-Turn the ignition on and off rapidly, so as to move the wiper arm out of the park position.

-Move the arm manually to the straight up position.

-Remove the three-sided rectangular cover (lower end of arm) that extends over the cap by pulling it straight up from the bottom end.

-Using a sensitive fingertip or a dental mirror, locate the two small recessed rectangular openings on the underside of the cap at roughly the 5 and 7 o'clock positions.

-Using a tool with a 90 deg end such as a dental pick or a small Allen wrench, release the catches in the access holes while pulling the cap upward with the left hand.

-Now that the entire articulated wiper actuator is in plain view, you will see as I did that the shaft that extends the arm up into the windshield corners (twice per sweep) is very likely no longer lubricated.

-Remove all the old grease from the shaft and bushing using for example a cloth soaked with lacquer thinner or similar, moving the arm back and forth to expose the arm surfaces inside the bushing.

-Apply new lubricant and I don't mean WD-40. I used Sil-Glyde, a silicone grease which has a working temp range of -20 to +400 deg F.

-Reassemble in reverse order.
