Hi,

On the outside of the Merc the spindle that holds the wiper ( side near glove box) has come away from the body. It all still works but was just having alook round the Merc and found this so don't want to break it anymore than it is! How would i go about fixing this please?

Kind Regards

Joe

Your spindle is beyond repair. It needs replacing with a new part.

You need to renew as Roly has said; individual spindles are available for some chassis numbers. Check with your dealer; don't be surprised if your dealer suggests a complete link.
