I would welcome the general opinion on Wiper life expectancy, I have a 3 year old MB just over 11k miles on the clock. Main use in London area, while I am not in a hurry to change for the sake of it I would have thought that the Wipers should be ready for replacement by now. Not so says the main...

I have a Mercedes Benz B Class (W246), now nearly 3 years old. It belongs to Motability, the whole deal has been very good for me and they are an excellent and understanding people. Because of the relatively small mileage I am extending the lease to the maximum 5 years. It is quite well...

Driving along the M49 today and crack, a huge stone chipped and cracked the top right edge of my windscreen. It will need replacing as the crack is about 20cm long. Two things - Autoglass are the approved company to sort out the replacement. Will they know which windscreen to bring just from...

Hi, Just posting this part number in case anybody is looking for some windscreen wipers. A2038202645

I bought my motor over the summer but only noticed at night during the winter that the windscreen is covered with tiny scratches which create a blurred view at night especially when there is oncoming traffic. Ideally I'd like a new windscreen but not sure the insurance would pay for this (what...

Anyone know how much those metal strips cost, which run from the windscreen either side of the roof to the back window? They are body coloured and popped out when the windscreen is replaced.

Hi anybody know of anybody to repair the back windscreen of a sl320 soft top, the plastic bit at the back in the Cotswolds area? Best alan

Hi, a bad hair day today! My MB SL320 back window has snapped in half, unusual. Does anybody know where I can get in mended in the Cheltenham / Oxford area i.e. Cotswolds. Not a good day but at least the car feels more airy today. Thanks. Alan

Is there a household product people can recommend that will remove car wax products from a windscreen, tried my normal slightly abrasive cleaner that I use when road grime builds up and I need to drive at night - but no luck. Is it time to experiment with meths, white vinegar that type of...

I've managed to pick up a nasty windscreen chip :( My windscreen excess is £65 and my policy states "This is the maximum windscreen excess you will be required to pay, your excess may be reduced if you require a repair, rather than a replacement windscreen" So what's the cost these...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and haven't been able to find an answer to my query so apologies if this has already been asked before! I have a C180 AMG sport and recently my windscreen has cracked. My insurance company will replace this (through autoglass), with an excess fee of £100. What I'm...

Evenin' all. I have just fitted new one-piece wiper blades (the single sprung rubber blade type) to the W211. They were cheap ones off eBay, and the same type have been fine on previous cars, but the W211 doesn't like them; maybe it's allergic to cheap? The problem is that there is a small...

I recently purchased a used cls320 and am having an intermittent fault with the rear windscreen de-mister. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Has anyone else had this problem and is anyone aware of a fix? Cheers

Evening All Hope I have posted this in the correct section. I have a 2005 SLK with thermatic controls. I have air blowing out of the top windscreen vent on the left hand side and centre but there is minimal airflow from the right hand windscreen vent. Everything else is working fine...

Hi Guys, I am having a replacement windscreen fitted Tomorrow Morning, Is there anything I should be aware of or look out for with the new replacement windscreen as I have heard a few stories from others about the incorrect screen being fitted and other problems etc. I have told Auto Glass the...

Hi Guy's, As per my newbie thread, I've finally bought an old ML 270 (03 plate). I bought it with a number of known minor niggles that I'm rapidly wading through and putting right. One niggle that seems a pain in the proverbial is the ridiculous washer Jet design. I have 1 jet working fine...
