PGA may be our friend - see my earlier post with their URL. On my foray to the pick-n-pull a few weeks ago, I noticed that all the MB WW's had been violently stripped of their motors. Very sad - all the transmission arms bent, all the plastic/rubber covers ripped and broken off.

I removed the cover you mentioned and lubed the shaft under the cover - helped a little. See my reply to Allan where I discuss Rusty's phone call. Sounds like we both have a new transmission in out future. I'm starting a search for a used one at Rusty's suggestion... New one's are over $500.

On my '95, the plastic cover over the reticulating mechanism is easy to pop-off - there are two catches at the bottom, you simply pull a little and it should pop off. You'll have access to clean and lube everything but the shaft which comes out of the motor. On my '87, the cover is screwed down and the entire WW assembly must be removed in order to properly clean/lubricate. -Max -----Original Message----- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of l02tur...@comcast.net Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 9:57 PM To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: [MBZ] Windshield Wiper W124 Hi Gang, My wife told me the WW was acting funny (she always talks in highly technical terms) so I checked it out tonight – because we’re having a snow storm tomorrow. Great timing, huh? Anyway, it sounds like the wiper blade is dry and dragging across the glass. It wasn’t as I sprayed it with cleaner fluid. I lubricated the mechanism as much as I could without disassembling anything. It’s a bit better. But I worry. Anyone BTDT?
