Hello - my name is Kiel and I'm new to the club.

I have a 2012 C220 W204 with sports pack.

My issue is my wiper blades judder badly and have done for some time getting worse. The Windscreen was replaced over a year ago and the judder wasn't there. I have replaced the blades so many times with different brands and this doesn't seem to help. I've even replaced the wiper arms direct form Mercedes but this did nothing.

The judder is so bad that when it rains it leaves a film and hard to see. when I uses the washer jets, the judder goes away as it its lubricating the screen so easier for the blade to go across.

I would appreciate any advise please.

Thank you.
 
Have you tried polishing the windscreen? Something like Zaino Z12, very mildly abrasive.
 
I have used a window polish but this Zaino Z12 sounds very good. I will buy some and see what it does.

Thank you
 
Is it juddering in all parts of a windscreen or only in some? Have you checked if the wiper mechanism is bent or got loosen?
Who replaced your windscreen and which brand was installed? Have you tried contacting installer or the manufacturer?
 
Hi All

Sorry for the late reply.

The mechanism is fine and the juddering is on both blades across all areas of the screen.

I have bought some blades called Vipa and these seem to be pretty good - no juddering but I have had this short break before with other blades before the judder returns.

The new blades work well but there is a film left on the screen when wiping. I have bought Zaino Z12 and will be giving the screen a clean this weekend - hopefully this resolves the issue.

Thanks all for your time and comments.
