wiper motor problem

[KINGAKNAA]

I'm having a bit of bother with my wiper motor on my 99 230 slk. Its decided to go extremely slowly regardless of what speed i notch it up to.
Got a feeling its going to stop completely very soon.

any ideas or am I looking at a replacement motor in the near future..if so where from and how much.

help much appreciated.

try lubing it - often neglecteld at a service - take cover off and lube tube thing...

lift wiper from screen spray WD40 into spindle thats the part you wiper arm is bolted on to, run wiper many times this should sort it

Had the same trouble with my C200 wiper motor.. Mercedes dealer said I needed a new motor. I used wd40 and its still going strong 2 years on.
