W211 Wiper Arm Nut Torque Spec

[SL03WLY]

Hi,

Anyone recall the torque spec for the 3 13mm nuts that hold the wiper arms down? My Passenger side arms nut came loose despite tightening it to what I thought was acceptable.

Thanks

"Acceptable tightness" plus a spot of Loctite sounds a good way to go.
...... Not too much !

Be wary of using Loctite. Red is pretty permanent, Blue would be my choice as you can break the bond using hand tools. Red needs heat and tools to break the bond.

Sounds like you used the standard method. Tighten till you crack the thread then back it off a quarter turn.
