Windscreen wipers
« on: April 16, 2012, 08:34:41 »
Did the windscreen (windshield) wiper mounting connection change 230 to 250 to 280?
Mine is a 'J' or 'U' type on my 280.
Thanks.

Hello Gnuface, This may or may not help, but the 111 series cars use the same wiper arms as our 113's.  The metal blades that the inserts go into are also the same.  U or J shape on all that I have seen.

Thanks RB667 I have seen some wipers on flea bay the packaging says 230SL & 250SL but
the connection does not look like the 'U' or 'J' fitting.
Never the less I have ordered a set and hope that I can make them fit :-\
