Actually the dealership mentioned those arms cannot have their angle of contact adjusted, which I also find strange. They confirmed they adjusted only how far the wiper should reach to the A pillar. The springs on those wiper arms are so extremely tight that if I lift and accidentally drop on...

Just to report back after some months on anyone that might find the thread helpful. 1st step: Coating removed completely - no help, wipers were skipping like crazy again. That lead to only one reason - faulty design. A lot of threads in MB world forum with people complaining of skipping Benz...

Hey guys, Tried to find the best solution possible but most of the threads here were quite dated. So to the question - heatwaves, summer, sea and asphalt / tar on the shoes of the passenger ,which then transferred to the floor mat, and it being brown is kinda noticeable. The damage is not big...

Was thinking if that would be a solution, but I am a bit afraid to put anything else on a windshield ever again :) Just don't want to fix that issue and have the same happen due to a sealant. What do you think? Still - how would you apply , don't I need to remove the coating first or you mean...

Thanks Bruno! Hopefully I find a solution. Yep drizzle is manageable, I am fine with that, but I would much prefer what my Yaris had - intermittent wiper each 5 seconds or so. Can't believe a premium brand does not have this - just two rain sensors sensitivity and two constant speeds. Now in...

Guys, some updates. So I just threw the OEM wipers in the trash as we put another layer of coating on them and it didn’t help, even made things worse. So I was on a waste money spree I guess but I bought another pair of OEM wipers just to try how it would work without coating, I wasn’t able to...

Thanks Mike, so for side mirrors of new cars - no buff, but a wipe of PBL coating is fine?

Hey Mike, one more thing I didn't actually ask about :D What about the two side view mirrors? I guess it's also nice to put something to repel water there and it's not gonna harm ?

Thanks Mike! I truly believe it is wipers problem and not the way the glass was polished or the coating that was put. So my update is that we removed the graphite coating on the wipers completely with ethanol. Applied again G1 on the wipers, this time it seems like it was good, waited to dry...

Thanks Mike! Yep, the guy did all the polish with a machine and cleaned with G4 Glass cleaner before applying anything. It seems like it is a common issue with the stock wipers, looking at all MBworld threads with similar complaints I guess he is correct. But for now I don't want to get anything...

Guys and maybe especially to @Mike Phillips - issue is not going away :( I did a really nice wash recently , then we had a heavy rain that got us on the motorway. Yes, coating works nice to repel water, but in heavy weather conditions you still need the wipers. I can hear them chatter and skip...

Thanks Mike. I do experienced that when I got the car. The coating was also put on the wipers to avoid that rubber chatter, I will try it in the next days, but as I said - no issues with dry window , we'll see how it behaves in rain or when I change the wipers in 6-12 months. But I guess you...

Thanks guys, well what's done is done. Actually today I ran a few dry runs - no water or fluid on the windshield. Didn't hear anything else than the wipers motor, at the 6-7 run they started a bit of chatter, but I guess that would be no normal for perfectly dry windshield. We'll see at next...

Thanks, yep, I will try to give it some time. Car was actually ready last Thursday, so that's around 4 days with applied coating , sitting , waiting for me. Will give it a chance till next rain. The detailer said that Bosch in general are bad due to some special coating they have on them...

Hi guys, Been here for a while educating myself, just got a brand new GLC Coupe and decided to give it the protection it deserves to keep it shiny and new as long as possible.So I went to a reputable detailer and we agreed to put coatings on almost any surface. I wouldn't spam with the complete...
