How to Replace the Wiper Blades on a Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
2 Answers
After stabilizing the wiper in a position perpendicular to the windshield, press the tab that secures the wiper blade and remove the old blade by separating it from the metal arm. Insert the new wiper blade and gently rotate it until the hook snaps into place to secure the new blade, then return the wiper to the windshield. Turn on the wiper switch to test if the wiper operates normally. If it functions properly, the replacement is successful.
I've replaced the wiper blades on my Mercedes-Benz E-Class before, and it's actually quite simple. First, lift the wiper arm to prevent it from snapping back and hitting the windshield, as that could cause serious damage if the glass cracks. Then, find a comfortable position to work, such as standing in front of the car, and press the small button at the joint where the wiper blade connects to the wiper arm. With a gentle press, the old wiper blade will loosen, and you can then slide it off. When purchasing new wiper blades, make sure to choose the correct model. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class typically uses beam-style (frameless) wiper blades, so it's best to buy OEM or compatible brands. Avoid cheap, no-name brands, as they often leave streaks and create excessive noise. Align the new wiper blade with the connector and push it in until you hear a click, indicating it's securely locked in place. Finally, gently lower the wiper arm back to its original position. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes, and checking the wiper blades for wear monthly makes replacement even more convenient.
