Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an alternative to the W212 front wiper other than 24+19 inches?
No, the Mercedes W212 front wiper is produced as standard 24" left + 19" right. Installing different lengths will obstruct visibility and damage the glass.
Which is quieter, BOSCH Aerotwin or Valeo Silencio?
Both brands are quiet due to their aero frame-less design. BOSCH is considered slightly quieter (manufacturer test data). Valeo offers better value for money.
Does the rain sensor require a reset after changing wipers on my W212 model?
No, mechanical wiper replacement does not affect the rain sensor. Only the type of wiper used must be compatible with the sensor (BOSCH Aerotwin and Valeo Silencio are compatible).
Should the rear wiper also be changed on the S212 (Touring) model?
Yes, the rear wiper should also be replaced once a year. An 11" push-button connected rear wiper is used for the S212 (station wagon).
