Do you mean to say that you've already complained the dealer once about the noisy, shuddering/skipping wipers and they didn't do anything?
Our '03 was pretty much like that when we took delivery of it. We complained to the dealer and they substituted different blades. That much reduced the noise and the skipping, although the wipers are still noisier than I would prefer in light rain. I thought the problem was due to the formulation of the '03 blades, and that M-B would have long since corrected the problem by now. Still, if the dealer didn't do anything the first time, I would insist that they replace the orginal blades, under warranty. If necessary, clean your windshield and then turn on the windshield washers and wipers and give them a demonstration.

That studdering is usually caused my a thin film of dirt or wax. Just clean it off with a windsheild cleaner and everything should be fine. Or you can add rainx after you clean it off to let the water sheet off.
