My car is super cheap and easy.
I just go to walmart every year after the rains of summer and just before holiday.
I buy the Rain X wiper with arm included.
Fast, cheap, works! 🙂
Install in 5 mins including unwrapping them from the plastic cartons.

Mercedes has turned into my DD, lol. Been running her around just like normal in the 95 degree heat, A/C blaring. Has a HELL of a cooling system and fan(s). Runs like a dream. I’m just now starting to drive slow and putter, it’s not LS430 smooth but it’s not supposed to be. But just puttering around it’s incredibly refined, will shift at 2k through all the gears. Silky shifts but you feel them just a little more. I don’t like putting miles on it like I am but this will run forever. There was that one for sale that had 200k on it in decent to good shape, I posted the think the other day. Love this car and just Mercedes. The top gets hot in the sun (duh) and warms the cabin a bit, only when stationary, but the a/c compensates.
This is what I mean about V8s, obviously. Our IS350 we had would dust this car. I couldn’t possibly care less, the engine sounded like a vacuum cleaner and wasn’t even that smooth. That car did nothing for me. This thing every single shift I marvel at, so much torque. So refined. The sound and feel…
Top up you’re basically driving a Mercedes luxury coupe. Love it. More people screw with me try to race etc with top up than down believe it or not.

Yep. I’ve put 3500 miles on since January.
One more thing: The A/C is so cold/good in here I have it on freakin 75 and the fan manually turned down. I’m almost embarrassed to even say that, lol. Taking it out of auto is blasphemy. 75 is for wimps.

Yeah they are excellent.
Issue there is I have found those blades you buy from Autozone even the expensive ones wind up skipping and chattering, I always come back to OEM blades…

MB AC is great. When they did my coding for my ILS lighting he coded on the high performance AC they use in hot markets like the Middle East, and it’s even better! It’s a deep freeze!

And yeah it’s cold, lol I’m at 66-68 or so in my other cars and house for that matter and am a total wimp here as y’all can see.

Yeah, he coded the high output AC as on where for our region it’s coded as off. Made a big difference

Do you have an Auto Zone or Batteries+Bulbs near you? They may carry the wipers for next time and will even install them at no charge. I go to Batteries+ near me and they replaced mine for around $15 installed.
