W205 noisy wipers

[sharppoint]

See video (not mine). Anyone with this same issue?

My wipers are same, wind screen as is from C&C. Did not put Rain-X etc...

Welcome to Merc irritation. 6yrs ago, I raised this same issue with my new W204 in this forum. There's a solution to this problem....go search for my thread.

[sharppoint]

Thanks jtang!

Ok, will try to get a bottle of this and try later.

i think bro jtang is referring to the autosol for polishing metal in his other thread.. not the autosol glass cleaner

[jtang]

This glass cleaner is something new. Can try but giggs is right...I used the metal polish only once & it solved the problem.

[sharppoint]

Wah... I actually had some issues with the car, so they say will polish the windscreen for me to fix it as well. Hopefully work, if not, will try the glass cleaner first. Metal polish is extreme man!

Yes...it was extreme. After a frustrating long quest to rid of this irritating juddering, I was prepared to smash the windscreen with a hammer & claim a new one. Thot why not try this autosol....& voila! It works.

The windscreen polish that C&C is doing for u last only 15min in the rain. You can let them try but don't bother to buy their product when the SA tells u that u need it....waste money! $70 i think.

What is the process when using the metal polish ?

 

Do you wet the glass first, apply the polish then clean with dry cloth ?

Just use it as if u r waxing the glass, no water. Wax on...wax off...like karate kid.

Wipers no more juddering (they polished the windscreen) when driving under today's rain.

Will see what happens after a few days.

[giggss]

not to pour cold water.... but my take is it won't last long.... 3 months max?

[sharppoint]

Hahaha...  I think no need 3 months. It is better but not eliminated. Happened again the following day, but not so serious as before.

[Ivo]

Not sure if anyone has tried this

 

[Omgamg]

my prev ride mazda also had the same issue... its a combination of causes and solutions

[sharppoint]

after 3 months, the problem is back! Have not tried any other solution other than sending back to MB to "polish" away the wax, that's what they said the last time. Will try using auto glass cleaner and clean the wiper blades and see if it helps.

I used to have wiper juddering in my previous ride. I got rid of the problem by using those blue wiper fluid which you can buy at any petrol station and pour it into the wind screen water tank, activate wiper cleaning and problem solved. Also use it on my current w205, so far no problem (finger cross)...

When I use the wiper wash, no judder. But after a while, it starts again. Cannot be always spraying the wash when it is raining right? I drove a Honda before and the wipers are always perfect. MB is very bad in this aspect!

I used the Autosol Metal polish method twice !!

 

The juddering still comes back after a while.

 

I also used clay, white sponge (those abrasive type) etc. After a while, it comes back.

 

I suspect it is not the windscreen problem but the problem with the wiper rubber.

 

The wiper rubber was always smooth during the first few initial brush then judder. If I switch it off, it will be smooth again.

Anyone changed to a PIAA silicone wiper yet? Maybe can share the result?

[sharppoint]

This post is a duplicate issue.

 

See here in future:

Page 5, someone said PIAA silicone wiper blade solved the problem once and for all.

[BabyA]

I just use the item in picture once and no such problems for past 6 mths. When FOC item is there, why not use it first.

Go read overseas forum also same issue, some X, Y or Z brand wiper works for some, it also dont work for others.

Was using these wipers when I had the W204. Very good but expensive. Was priced at $159 previously in Autobacs. Today I saw them retailing at $224....faint.

Can buy 3 sets of original wipers or 6 sets of OEMs.

Lucky my original wipers very obedient & do not squeal.

My take is the condition of the windscreen and wipe cleanly!

juddering also occurs in A250 , had up this issue to C&C for 12 months and they put the blame on EXTERNAL OBJECT had landed on my windscreen. The problem is they did not acknowledge when our one tube of Mercedes Windscreen solution  into the container , judder starts. They have removed all liquid and use only fresh water and juddering stops !

 

C&C front desk are a bunch of laymen with not much technical know how, 

[jskywalker]

oh..I thought I'm the only that thinks that the C&C wiper fluid cause more juddering.

 

I had since asked them not to change the wiper fluid during servicing.

 

Currently, I'm trying out Hella Dyna Blades. They sweep smoother but still comes back after a while.....
