Broken C63S Wipers/Spray?
So I had a smudge on my window and tried to clean it off but my windshield wasn't being sprayed. So I tried to lift up my wiper blades to check it out and one of them didn't even have clearance to raise up while the other one was rubbing against my car. I feel like this can't be right, so does anyone else have this too?

I found that by lifting the driver's side wiper with a little more force, it actually slides the assembly up so that the wiper can be fully extended like the passenger side. HOWEVER be careful as the arm is sliding against the hood so need to help it out and do slowly. Weird design. I have full XPEL wrap on my car so no damage done, but without it I could see the paint may get scratches if not super careful.

Gents, the driver side wiper is "slave" to the passenger side wiper. You need to--by hand--pivot the passenger wiper (against the windshield, as if you were manually operating the windshield wipers) to it's fully extended position, which will in tandem move the driver side wiper, and THEN lift/raise the wiper.
The parked wiper position is nested under the hood for aerodynamic reasons and been in place on MB's and other OEMs since the early 80s.
Not sure what the spray issue is, but you can adjust the nozzles, I know...I'd recommend taking it to the dealer to get it sorted out.
