I bought a set of wipers for the 211 but I could not figure out how to
get them to fit. I get them from Costco and put them on all the other
cars that have a hook on the end of the wiper arm, the wiper just slides
over it and locks on. This thing has some weird end, none of the
plastic doohickeys in the wiper sleeve seemed to fit it. It needs some
new ones, I guess I should go hit the FLAPS and see what they have that
would be different.

I think I mentioned some time ago that I was consistently getting OE brand
wipers from RA as inventory closeouts for pennies on the dollar. There seemed
to be a constant flow of the things into their system. Many that I got were
branded NAPA wipers but were Bosch or one of the other major brands, not junk.
Any more I just get the Mercedes ones for the MBs, as they’re not all that bad
considering how often they have to be replaced. I think the W210 wipers are
around $18 my cost, so I just keep one on the shelf.

Took my Dodge pickup for its yearly safety inspection yesterday. The guy passed
it but mentioned it was going to need a tie rod soon. Since the tires are only
a couple months old I figured I ought to actually fix the tie rod. He said he
couldn't tell if it was inner or outer, they're not too expensive so I figured
I'd just do both, its probably the outer but while I'm there...
Anyway while I was at it I checked on wiper blades. Last year when I bought
wipers (Bosch Evolution) at FLAPS they were like $20-$25 apiece. For 3 cars
that adds up quick but bad wipers are the worst, especially in snow.
From Rock Auto they're $6-$8 each. I know where I'll be buying wipers from now
on....
