Hi
I should repair the windscreen wiper on my 500e.
The gear in The wiper mechanism is bad, no gear left.
Have anyone baugh the gear on eBay?
Is it possible to get a good quality on this one?

Best Regards Niklas
 
You can get the gears from several sources as good quality plastic gears. It is definitely something I'd recommend getting new rather than using a replacement from a used wiper mechanism. The eBay gears should be fine.
 
Aaron (speedy300Dturbo) reported that the Dorman replacement wiper gear is made in USA and appears to be decent quality. Photos attached.

Application chart indicates it may only fit the early-style mechanisms, with metal housing. The late-style housing with removable plastic cover was phased into production late in pre-facelift production (late 1993 USA model year). I don't know if the late wipers use the same gear.
