Headlight Wiper issue
Hey guys the new guy here,the other day it was raining and got a littl emuddy here in Dallas,So i used my headlight wipers and they worked fine till the right wiper blade quit in the middle of the headlight,so i unbolted it and re adjusted it and it wouldnt work again,so i took the headlight and corner marker out and pulled the wiper motor out and re greased and realined the gears in the motor and it did the same thing quit in the middle so now i just reajusted it so it matched the other working one on the bottom of the bumper,my question it is this a common thing with the w140's and if so was that the reason why the w220's nolonger has wipers on the headlight? till the next epsiode-benzkid

now the W220 has sprayers, but I always wonder if those actually work as well as the wipers would. Anybody know?

W220 headlight wipers
I completed the pressure wash and wipe, took my finger off the button, I heard a "clunk", then saw the right hand headlight wiper arm, and blade, shoot over the bonnet and dissapear over the roof.
Pulled the vehicle up ASAP, noticed all my windscreen washing fluid pouring out from under the front right bumper bar....Ok, obversely the blade/arm has detached from arm and tube, get back in car and see the "Refill the washer" message on the dash, pop bonnet, and yes, water bottle is empty....Mmm...only just refilled it the day before and not used as yet.
Try as I might to find a replacement, no such luck, and no-one has shown how to fix this problem on YouTube...Please, any answers on my problem?
