Wiper Mechanism

[Danny T30TUS]

Hey folks,

Was on my way home from work tonight in the K series S2. Was only travelling from Dyce to city centre. Hut a pot hole just outside BP then all of a sudden my wiper stopped working. I tried moving the wiper to a different speed but nothing. Put my hand out the window and managed to get the blade back to its normal position. As it was nose to tail traffic I could still see, half a mile down Stoneywood road I was struggling to see and decided it was too dangerous to continue. I pulled over to let the traffic pass me before I got of the main road. Once of the road I removed the drivers side inspection panel and noticed the mechanism for the window wiper was in pieces. The motor is still working and I think I have all the parts. I managed to get the car back to my work before the missus picked me up. I will have another look tomorrow in daylight to see if I can get it back together using what I have available.

Has anyone experienced this before?

would this require a clam of job to rectify?

Thanks

Danny

I've not removed the wiper mechanism but I have removed the clam and have been in about the wiper bits to get into the bolts for the clam. If its the rods and brackets that you need to put back together you could probably do that but it might be challenging to get access with the clam in the way. I guess you just need to see whats fallen off in the daylight. Chances are its just one connection thats dropped off so you might be lucky
