Wiper rest postion Problem C200

[Stables]

Hi I have a problem that when I switch my wiper off it comes to rest in the middle of the screen and not in its normal rest position. Its a 1996 c200......It did start to stick but cleared itself and started running smoothly but when I came to turn the wiper off it stopped upright. Can anybody help

Cheers

turn the wiper on/off a few times does it revert to its proper posistion ? if not it may need to be re-adjusted search the forums here for threads talking about the same

in addition, the problem is most likely caused by lack of grease on the two metal guide rails inside your wiper assembly,

Afraid not, as you have to remove the wiper motor drivehead assembly from the car, see here;http://members.lycos.nl/mbenz/windshield_wiper.htm.

this job is really easy to do once you know that the turtle shell is held in place with two tabs situated more or less in the bottom 1/3 of it, however the tricky bit is prizing the turtle shell plastic up and to do that I used a small piece of metal with a fingernail sized tab on the end of it (at 90degrees to the metal rod) to slip under the plastic and release the tab. once done access to the two rails was straightforward enough and i liberally greased them

did the job today on my c220 (1995) even though there was no problem, i guess after reading these threads i decided it was time to take some preventative measures, and i must stress again

the job was EASY

Hi,
If it parks directly up (vertical) everytime in 'exactly' the same place it could be someone has modified to do this on purpose as its a customising thing.
