Default windshielf wiper issue

Hey,

It snowed in here on Sunday. Today I cranked up the MB and tried to remove the snow on the windshield with the wiper (the snow had frozen over night). The wiper moved an inch or so and now it's just jamed there.
What could be the issue or how can I diagnose the exact part thats failing on me?

Thanks

Sounds like you may have damaged the transmission rods. You have to pull the wiper arms, plastic cover and have a look at the arms. Not sure on the MB's but ford and GM use a ball & socket system so if you try and move snow the arms will just pop out of the socket.
