I agree with Jeff, this is a really useless thing to bother with.
Untill now I had so many problem with my wipers on my old 500SEL that I simply disconnected them.
Unless someone does rallying in mud in the night with their MBs(must be dumb to do this with an MB) I can't see the reason to spend so many hours on the wipers.
