Wiper squeal

[retiefgoosen]

all wipers are the same be it Mercedes or jdm ride.

my merc wiper is pretty good nick, no sound and operated smoothly

the lexus one is due for a change so I thought, why not since plenty of 2b pencils around in office

 

I guess is the same principal where ppl use news paper to wipe clean the window

is the lead or carbon that cleans out the oil smudge on the windscreen that makes it clear

[asiadj]

Whole set means the metal piece with rubber? Thot piaa is full piece only, not rubber refill

 

 

wat u mean by metal piece?

 

my "set" means .....

 

 

x2 = a set

 

ya dun have refill for w204

[asiadj]

anyone try to use 2b pencil to brush on the rubber tip of the wiper. works quite well..

previously saw it on a facebook page and i applied it on my lexus.

 

but if wiper is old and rubber is harden and broke off, better still change a new one.

clear visibility is also a key safety feature

 

 

pencil doesn't last.. tried. =)

[Angchug]

Mine was working fine till I applied a layer of Rain-x.

Happen to W 245 and W 205.

[thaiedwin]

Rain-X cause wiper judder ......

[giggss]

oooohh i thought you changed the refill only... that will be 2 red colour notes..

this whole set need 2 blue notes or 3?

I had taken out the Bosch wiper. Something sticking out at the joint area; aesthetic wise not nice. 

 

Best is still to get original wiper from stockist to change, $100 odd dollars

[Raider]

I am using Melamine Sponge with just water and it works.

All for only a light blue colour note at Daiso

[jon]

I used to have this issue too....  changed my wiper from C&C 3 times, tried all kind of solution, wiping method but the problem came back after a while.

 

I gave up finally and few months ago I replaced my wiper at autobac for a cheap $30 / pair wiper.   Haha... since then no more squeazing.... should have change to a cheap wiper earlier..

[asiadj]

oooohh i thought you changed the refill only... that will be 2 red colour notes..

i also hope they had only the refill... cos i use tat for another ride..

 

4 blues still got change. that was like 1.5yrs + ago. when w204 fl just came out that time...

 

same issue as u guys, i think 15k servicing i tell cnc liao... cnc change new wiper for mi free. tell mi they polish my windscreen etc.. etc...

think a mth later also same issue...

 

sua la... buy the piaa la. happily until now...

 

perhaps due to conditions too, i think 95% my ride is under no shelter one.

i'm replying again to this thread for the benefits of concern pple of the stupid effects of the wipers that casue jerking effects..

 

like all bro and sis... felt quite shit feeling over this... but that was 3yrs ago..

 

went for PIAA silicon wiper, problem solve.. it last me for the past 3yrs. =)

 

price was like $160-180 that time, only Autobacs carry. BUT... understand due to price wise.. not every bro and sis willing to spend that type of money on a pair of wipers. For me I think is money well spent.

 

i'm here to provide a alternative solution, after 3 yrs, I just change my piaa to a new silicon wiper.. but troublesome thing is Singapore never sell...

 

price wise, it's about the price of ORIGINAL MB wiper cost frm golden link... about $80-100 bucks.

 

u can buy frm here..

[sharppoint]

Want to change to PIAA wiper blades as well. Which for W205?

[jskywalker]

I went to search for this PIAA wipers at Autobacs (Paya Lebar, Loyang and Bukit Timah).

 

They do not have it for my ride (W204) 600mm clip type.

 

They have it for the older models I think.

[jrmy]

I went to the ubi one today also. They didn't have for my 2008 w204.

Thanks!

 

But for the 2nd link for w204, is for all years of w204? getting a bit confused after googling a bit.

[jskywalker]

I has tried the Silblade above.

 

First, the adapter is no good. After mounting, there's a cover. It doesn't close properly and will open up after some use.

 

Secondly, it judders after some use.......

[sharppoint]

You are lucky, mine started juddering on the 5th day after collection when I drove in the rain for the 1st time.  Scrapping loudly against the windscreen.  Sent back to C&C and they polished the windscreen and adjusted the angle of the wiper arms (what I was told), the problem pops up on and off a few months later but I'm too lazy to send the car in.  Usually when the wipers judder I just turn on the wiper washing liquid and it will sweep smoothly for a while.  I asked the car groomer to pay more attention to the windscreen whenever I sent the car in.  I will ask C&C to check the wipers again when I go for servicing.

 

Same problem for me. Went in twice liao. Both times they say polish screen coz got wax residue etc. After that, still get the same problem after a while. Wanted to change to PIAA wipers but I think do not have for the W205 model.

[sharppoint]

Went in 3rd time. This time they change wiper (FOC since on records since day 1 I had the issue). Seems to work today when it rained. Still monitoring.

[catfish]

I use a different route.. 

 

i tried adjusting the wiper arm, autosol... mama lemon .. all failed.. none can solve the wiper jerky /noise ... 

 

I do not feel like paying S$160 for a pair of  PIAA ..

 

After some research, few wks ago, when I was in KL, went to get the Duraedge  conti Silicon replacement in KL...paid ~RM$90 for two 30" wiper silicon rubber (they run out of 24" length )  

 

Bingo .. the silicon rubber profile is similar as stock Merc wiper rubber... 

 

BTW, need some skill to remove the original wiper end cap, once it's out, just slide out the rubber ..  ..  .. (if you keen to know, PM me) 

Also, fyi .. those Autobac silicon wiper replacement is not compatible with Merc ..

 

So far so good... the noise & jerky gone... & the windscreen is much clearer ..

the cap at the end of the wiper blade can be removed?

[catfish]

the cap at the end of the wiper blade can be removed?

Yes, the end cap can be removed... it's quite easy, if u know where to insert the small flat screw driver from top & not via bottom . 

 

Previously I tried to remove via bottom.. which is the wrong method ...

Hi bro, would you mind sharing how to remove cos' I would like to use a wiper refill instead of changing the entire labde/piece.
