hi all,

My first post and what would seem to be very stupid question, I picked up a 98 C250 TD recently in nick. In going to change the wiper blade I bought the recommended 24" blade. It is definitely too long for the arm as it stands, more than 3 inches over the previous one.

Is there some kind of adjustment possible on the arm length or have I got a spurious part, in which case I guess I'm buying a shorter wiper blade

Many thanks for any assistance

Marcus
 
I'd bt on it being the wrong part...
Easilly done. MB gave me the wrong pollen filters recently for my 210... inspite me giving them VIN No etc...
 
if it's a single wiper car, there's a complicated gearing (read that as very expensive to replace lol) that engages to make the complete sweep over the whole screen.
If the gearing's spoilt; the wiper sits too long when assembled onto the arm... Which I'm guessing is not what you're saying above...
 
Thanks Rascal, I think you're right, its the wrong arm, probably a bodge fix some time in its past, I think I'll buy a shorter blade
