The rear wiper on my wife's new A150 is fitted upside down so that it wipes the rear number plate (and scratches the paint on the boot) - as it automatically wipes when the main wipers are activated we are driving around with it lifted off - my 3 year old said that mummy's car is wagging its tail:rolleyes:

It must have come lose on its spline, lift the cap, fit to correct place and tighten up.

Thanks

:) Simple 30 sec job that saved me a two hour round trip to the dealer (I did telephone them first - the sales rep said that they must have fitted the motor in the wrong way round).

You need a certain amount of qualifications to become a MB sales person.
Engineering must not be one of them.
