W213 Wipers

[goldy]

Any recommendations for wipers for a W213 saloon? Put genuine Merc on there around 14 months ago but they are jumping, noisy and dragging when the screen isn't soaked.

Any other brands worth using?

Thank you.

Firstly, I'd give the screen (and wiper) a really good clean - vinegar and newspaper as a final screen polish - Then fit Bosch wipers if still an issue.

Bosch.

I’ve tested a few others like Michelin, Trico and Heyner. They all worked well enough but, the Bosch has always been the outright winner, leaves no splashes on the reverse stroke, performs reliably and seems to be more resilient in cold conditions.

the driver's side wiper on my R Class would skip/judder across the screen, I'd replace it & it was ok for a very short time. After I'd done this a few times, I replaced the whole wiper arm .... nothing like as expensive from MB as I'd thought it might have been .... problem sorted!
Might be worth a try.

Gave the wipers a good clean with vinegar and seems to have helped.

See how they go.

Thanks for the advice

Another vote for Bosch. Autoglass fitted them to mine when they changed the windscreen a year or two back and I’m very happy with them.

To be fair, 14 months is probably a reasonable innings for a set of blades. Genuine ones have an indicator that tells you when they are done

WD40 works a treat, take them off clean and apply a liberal coat of spray, fit them back on in the morning and off you go
