Had to go into Boston yesterday in a snowstorm. Driving wasn't too bad but
after maybe 45 minutes the wipers in my '83 240D decided they didn't want to
shut off...
They'll go to intermittent but never actually shut off completely.
This morning they'd stay off sometimes and sometimes run
Sounds like either a relay problem or a short in the wire that the stalk grounds
for intermittent.

There are two types of wiper on a 201, the long monowiper and the earlier
double-wiper style.
Nope. The '84 and '85 (before 2/85) had a non-extending single arm/blade and
after that the extending arm appeared. That's also when many mecahnical
changes were made plus 15 wheels were installed.
I bought a new refill windshield wiper blade for the 124 today
thinking I'd be smart and change it out instead of replacing the whole
assembly, saving myself a few bucks. I got the old wiper rubber out
and tried to install the new one but the rubbers are different between
the old and new. What's

Buy the dealer assembly if you want to change it, the aftermarket ones
are not the same, and are flimsy in comparison.
If you have problems with blade slap, the whole thing needs to be
replaced, and check the arm itself for looseness, they do wear.
There are two different lengths, too.
get the right part. They both have two grooves running on either side
along the length so that it can slide in place, but the new one has
blind ends - the bottom groove doesn't go all the way to the ends. I
wasn't able to relocate the clip and the two long metal rods from the
old one to the new

What do you guys think of Bosch wipers? I'd always bought Anco...
I found, when I was wiper comparison shopping, that of what I
could buy around here then the Trico blades were the only ones
at McParts that were worth the time of installation. Others
didn't last any time at all before they
you have no wax on your windshield/Tom

Advance auto parts has Bosch in regular and excel.
