Hi All,
I have (what I believe to be) a buggered wiper assembly. It will sweep up about 1/4 of the way then stops. It sounds like a plastic or nylon gear has stripped and makes a pile of noise until the system shuts off. Anyone have the info on how to remove and install the whole assembly?
Thanks in advance!

There's nothing there unfortunately. I've taken the works apart myself, and am taking pics, so I can post a diy once I'm done. It's actually quite easy...

Are you on bimmerforums? I have seen a member post up the steps there. You might have some luck searching there
