Hi folks,
Jumped in the CLS earlier this evening after some basic de-icing. I thought I had cleared the screen externally with de icer but it seems the left wiper was still firmly frozen onto the screen.
I pressed the wash/wipe button and the driver's side wiper promptly did it's stuff but the passenger side remained worryingly planted to the screen. Freed it off but it seems to have gone limp and I can now move it manually by hand. It doesn't move at all when I operate the wipers. So I just have a drivers side wiper currently.
Completed my 30 mins motorway journey, car now parked at destination for half an hour, allowed heat to dissipate into it and passenger side wiper still showing no life.
Are there seperate motors for drivers/passenger side wipers? Or is it just a linkage - is there anything I can do to reattach the linkage/get it working again?! Some long trips to complete later this week
