magic vision wipers

Is it me or is this thing dispenses washer fluid like there is no tomorrow? I am guessing more fluid is being dispensed as it is not really a spray but like a hose. Not complaining about it's performance as it is really great but I am just shocked to see how much fluid this thing spills out.

I bet the catch is that it uses some type of special fluid that you can only get at the dealership so therefore is pumps it out. Making it “drip revenue.” Haha

it also has a wonderful 'fresh mountain lake' or 'breezy ocean beach' scents for those too cheap to spring for the $150 bottle of perfume

It works like "magic" reminds me of magic body control ad, everything is magical at Mercedes. The nice thing about the magic vision control is that it dispenses washer fluid on one side and when it swipes back at the end it dispenses on the other side. Not to mention the fluid doesn't go everywhere, only problem is if you don't use the washer fluid often it takes time to pump the fluid up which leads to dry scrapping.

It's an older thread but for the sake of accuracy - it's available on GLE in Netstar, just not in the public configuration builder on MBUSA website.

I have it on my 2024 GLE450 and also had it on my 2018 GLE 550e. Works great, no wiper noise or juddering.

Does it dispense wiper fluid from the underside of the wiper blade or from both sides of the blade? Apparently you can get Magic Vision on the GLE but it's not listed as one of the options to select from on MBUSA.COM.
