#7 of 9 2008 MB C300 windshield wipers by hrussell1 Nov 07, 2007 (6:10 am)
Endure what may be a stupid question. I am driving a loaner new C300 sport off the lot while they try to find and fix a persistent squeal in my 280SLK. I am interested in the C300 but noticed yesterday that the windshield wipers seem way too small, wiping only about 50-60% of the windshield. I almost had to lower my head to see the cleaned area. Whats with this? Wrong blades? Poor design? So bad it would rule this car out for me. Thanks for your insights.

Our C300 Lux has some of the best wipers of any car we've owned - I really like the "frameless" free-form design - they do a great job. Replies to this message: hrussell1 (Nov 07, 2007 6:25 pm)
