Hello

I noted soon after buying the 2007, c class that the wiper was sitting too high up the scree when turned off and hitting the drivers side pillar when in operation. Today I took the car to MB, they adjuested the wiper so it ts a faction below the black trim lie o the bottom of the screen, and that is how it should be.

However, I've just retured home from the shops and it rained. The wiper now returns from the top edge, about 2:5 to almost 3" apprximately, ie, when the driversside wiper makes a seep, at the to end of the sweep, returnsshort frm pillar.

Though I've had this car for just under 2 months I had a W203 for about four years & other cars, but do not recall the wiper returnivg from the top that early, which in turn gives me a huge blind spot, especially on around about

Am I being silly or is there a problem?
Even my wife noted it when pointed out to her.. she does not drive my ar but did feel t was wong

Thanks

Hi

Many thanks!!!

I've hada car for 33 years, since the age of 17 & had a W203 before, but I did not want to look foolish at the hands of MB people as they have the gift of the gab, some of them at least

Thank you
