Removing the Windscreen Wiper Motor

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Windshield wipers

To remove the complete windscreen wiper motor assembly, start by opening the front bonnet and lifting it until the support catches engage. Then, remove the plastic grilles located just below the windscreen by releasing the corresponding retaining tabs. Next, unscrew the fixing screws of the plastic cover also located under the windscreen and unclip the pressure tabs to completely remove it, including the frame fitted just below the wiper. You can then proceed to dismantle the wiper mechanism by disconnecting the motor's power connector and the washer fluid pipe.
