I sat in Roly's (Roland) E300 24V Sportline this weekend and it was very very nice!!!
Anyway I noticed his wiper was extremly silent, well mine is also but when it comes back to the rest position it left a few drops... I never thought anything of it because it usually CHUCKS water away from the screen so nicely...
anyhow while visiting the stealership for Rubber mats I decided to check my blade, it had a very small rip in it!!!! <img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/exclamation.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':exla:'>
....I asked for a new blade and handed over my £18.10, just behind me was an old school class mate we shook hands and had a brief chat... he was here for a wiper blade also! I cracked a joke saying I took the last one and so on, I waited for him because he had a nice Mercedes 190E Cosworth!!! and I was eager to check it out....
He only paid £6 for his rubber (for his dads W202) it turned out he had just the 'rubber' and I had the rubber complete with the arm... I said oh 'F THAT' then and waived to the parts guy who was a oldish kinda guy with his spectacles on the brink of his nose... (mr know it stealershit guy)
After getting a swap and cursing him for not telling me that refills were available he said to me that he will see me in 20... WHY? I asked... he asked if I had ever done one before I was no but dude how hard can it be? we stood making bets that I wouldnt be back etc etc and my friend started to go red with embarresment as I started telling the parts guy off....
I then got the humph with the guy and started bragging to him about EPC's and WIS's and how did he know this part could be fitted on that car and did he even know that and how long he had been with mercedes, the bodysshop manager saw me and know me by name , 'MR DHIR, hows tricks? done any more modifications?' he shouted I smiled at him and gave the parts idiot a wink
The window rubber took like 5 minutes to fit, 3 minutes to read instructions and rape the old one off and 2 minutes to install the refill... Guess what!<img src="http://www.mbclub.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> I didn't know what I had been missing, it was much more quiter and no left over droplets plus I saved myself 12 pounds and made the parts guy look like a fool
RUBBER MATS RUBBER WIPERS, I THINK THAT 12 SQUID SHOULD BUY ME SOME RUBBER JOHNNIES TO SHAFT THE PARTS GUY PROPERLY EVERYTIME I GO THERE
