yeah i know what you mean. my 2000 beetle had 4 or 5. and were also speed sensitive. i like the auto sensing feature. it doesnt bug me, to the point where i wanna rant and rave, but its just something i notice. like i said, doesnt rain often enough for me to care. and about the time ill be fed up with i wont have to use them for a while. it may rain maybe like 20 or so days a year here, so whatever. and half the time its not even rain just mist, spray, something wet!!!

I just went outside when i stopped to get gas and just kind of adjusted then again and they were fine. Just tell the dealer that you were having some problems or something.

Citron,
Mercedes Benz of San Diego is really great, they were very polite, they did the service B on the on my vehicle, they went out of their way to take care of me, and they went beyond the scope of the repairs finding other problems that were addressed and corrected. I could not believe the dealership wanting to please me it was unrepresented. The dealership is quite state of the art, sterile and futuristic.
The staff loved my Audio 10 CD, and they kept asking if the vehicle was a Euro Benz due to the Euro plate on the vehicle. My service rep was Collette so if you need service see her, she is great to work with.
I would rate that dealership a ten plus. This is what owing a Benz is all about! I have very little problems with this Benz and my wife loves it.
Thanks for asking
David

Now I am confused, I thought A service was when the wipers were bad at 12,000 miles in which it would be covered (Like mine were)!

I just got my car back from my first A Service. Dropped off the car this morning and mentioned that my sunroof is noisy when closed.
Picked up the car at 3 and they replaced my wiper blades without me telling them to and they lubed and then replaced a "sunroof bellows" and now my car is as quiet as a S-class... :p (OK OK, maybe nearly as quiet). Very friendly, very fast and very thorough - they took my car for a 22 mile test drive (which I don't mind at all, when I lived in Germany all my car dealers take the car out for a test drive...)

yup, RainX is incredible. you honestly won't need wipers in light to medium rain. i put the rainx brand washer fluid in my car. it has the rainx formula in with the washer formula. cleans and beads up the water.

I used the RainX washer fluid in my last car all the time and, after some time, I noticed a wax build up on the hood under the spray pattern of the nozzles. It looked rather ugly so I have decided not to use the washer fluid in my coupe but apply the RainX manually instead.

Insert type?
OK--24" for the driver side and 22" for the passenger. When I looked at the inserts there was the option for "trapezoidal" or "box." Anyone know what the C230 uses? Thanks.
