Mercedes-Benz W140 wiper blades and replacement rubbers
300 S
Is it worth replacing just the rubber on a W140 wiper blade?
Yes, because the rubber wears fastest and instead of a new blade you can replace just the rubber. The old frame can be kept. The rubber may have to be shortened to fit the frame.
Where can I get W140 wiper blades or just the rubbers?
Original blades and W140 rubbers alone are no longer generally on sale. A suitable blade can be found among universal wipers, and the dimensions should be checked on the car. Lengths vary, and the driver's and passenger's sides are different lengths.
The wiper blade knocks against the glass on the return stroke - what to do?
The knocking is caused by the damping rubbers under the blade. They can be replaced with new ones while the frame stays. The rubbers are sized separately for the left and right sides.
