Wipers - what CAN be adjusted?

I'm curious what can (i.e. parameters) be adjusted with the wipers on my 08 E550?

Its been raining quite a lot lately in SoCal and I noticed that when the wipers are on, they leave a slight "streak" behind them that fairly quickly fades away. It is almost like you're wiping with Windex that you see a little streak that then evaporates before your eyes.

It isn't a huge deal. These are still some of the best wipers I've driven with (although I loved the "V" wipers on the old Benz's) but just curious if thats normal or not and if I should take it to the dealer to get them adjusted.

If you decide to bring the vehicle in the wiper arm angle can be checked https://mbworld.org/forums/3433379-post4.html

Yes however to properly adjust angle, they will need to access WIS sheet and have adjustment tool 211589022100 on hand.

Thanks ..

So I assume what I'm seeing with mine isn't normal and should be corrected?
