Window screen wiper

[Buckley06]

Hi again,
My drivers side window screen wiper has stopped working,
I can move it up and down the window by hand but nothing when I try it from the car.
Could it be the motor or the spline?

If its only the driver's side and presumably the passenger side is operating it must be something mechanical. Looks like you should check the simple stuff first, as you say splines on the shaft and wiper arm then work back from there .
Hope that's helpful ?

It’s the ball joint that has popped off. Everything you need to know is here.... https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=101365&hilit=Clip

Did it just stop or was it frozen to the screen when you tried the switch, the above advice should sort it out

Check this thread to see how to dismantle the coverings & motor, see if something has disconnected.

My guess was that it might have been frozen. I was just sat in the car last night doing some coding.
Then tried the wipers then only 1 moved.
