C300
New Member: Wiper blades issues

Hello everyone!

I have a 2015 c300. I would like to know if anyone has experienced their windshield wiper blades agitating. I went to the Benz service department and was told that it happens on all the new car models. They said that the new wiper blades do not have a metal bar in them which will cause the blades to agitate🤔

Tell the service guy he is full of s--t. My wiper blades did that and they replaced the blades and it does not do it anymore.

I have this too. Haven't had time to take it in.

It's like the blades are too tight to the windscreen. Very loud and annoying when it's raining.

On my wifes car she had a skipping problem also. I found out that the windshield had Rainx on it. Took mineral spirits and cleaned windshield really good to get rid of the rainx After that no problems. I do not take it through a car wash that applies rainx to the car.

It was the RAIN-X that put me into this situation - wipers chatter. It didn't get fix after 7 attempts until the windshield was replaced.

opposite for me, got the car with no rain-x coating on the windshield, water did not bead up. had to start using it to stop the skipping. I wish i didnt have to use it..

I had this issue with my old C300. After cleaning the windshield a couple times with good glass cleaner, after a while the skipping stopped...and I never changed the blades.
