This may be a small, but ask I shall.

The single wiper blade comes to a rest on the driver's side of the 1995 c280. Is there any way to have it be changed to be on the passenger side in the off position? Seems odd to have a left drive car with the wiper on that side as well, reducing driver's vision.

Thanks!

I have never had the wiper be an issue parked on the drivers side.... I have seen some W201s with the wiper parked on the passengers side... not sure if modified to do that or from the factory that way.

if you move the seat up a bit (i actually mean up) and sit up rather than reclining then you will be able to see better. the wiper should NOT be an issue...if it is, you are sitting far too low in the car. remember, this is about being safe, not reclining and being super comfortable.

I have a question...Why would you want a wiper to start on the passenger side and bring everything it's removing ( snow, rain , mud etc) over to the drivers side and into your line of vision ?

RHD also comes to rest on drivers side. You should find the difference between the RHD & LHD wipers.
