W203 2004, noisey wipers

[ardsar]

Hi,

The windscreen wipers make a whurring sound. I can still hear it whilst the car is moving (upto around 20 - 30mph)

I have taken the car to the garage 4 times but it is still the same. They have apparently replaced the motor and the mechanism, but it is no better.

Surely it is not normal for a merc that is less than 3 years old to make such a noise???

Any advice appreciated.

Merc wipers are normally silent.
Take the service manager out to the used cars and sit on another car and compare.
Assuming yours is still noisier, it's his problem to fix it.

Would you know by any chance how to remove the trim at the bottem of the screen so I can get at the wiper linkage,I have taken out all the screws but still held fast.

You need to unclip it from the screen. its held in the hole way across by being cliped in a channel. lift the trim upwards at the sides very hard, once a small section lifts the rest will follow more easilly.
you will have to remove the arm of the wiper to get it of aswell.
