Black c 230 Kompressor Sport Sedan
something MB should think about
it has been raining here in So Cal. one thing i could use on the c230 sport sedan would be a rear window wiper. water seems to just sit there. i wonder if the rear window spoiler would fix that.

Maybe its time to change to the aero-wipers. After having them for a couple of months, I think they are better than the old ones.

I'm sort of curious - how are yours compared to the stock setup as far as the wiping area is concerned?

I am very positive that the driver's side wiper is shorter than the passenger side. It has nothing to do with whether the car is US spec or Canadian spec.
If you cant get them in the States, I can get it for you if you want.

Use Rain-X until you come up to the B service. You wipe it on, and buff it off. I'm also here in SoCal, and it's been a great help these last couple of days; esp. for the rear window.

2003 Citron Green C230KMT
i get my 05 grill Monday and will install that and post pics once its finished. i usually get comments from the dealers when i go since they either rarely or never see that color.
if you look closesly on the pic of the rear of the car, you can barely see i dont have my mirror in there yet. it arrives monday with my new rub strip for the driver side and grill. i have the old rub strip on there right now, just cleaned up.

Your car looks great, Citron is growing on me. I like the color match grill, Will your '05 grill be the same? , How about some before photos.
