Difficulty / Worthiness of Monowiper swap on W201
My '84 has a single, non-oscillating wiper blade.
It needs a new windshield. I thought this might be the time to change to the oscillating wiper because of the rare nature of this early assembly and windshield. or is the oscillating wiper a curse and eventually prone to failure? |

Changing it out whenever is not that hard. It's just a bunch of trim pieces. I'd leave it as is.

I have two 85's here-- one is the oscillating type, and the other isn't. Both seem to work fine.

Mine is an oscillator and works fine, albeit a little noisy. I believe the oscillator does a better job as a wiper. When I changed the climate control blower assembly, I got to know the wiper mechanism up close and personal. Greased it a little and it got somewhat quieter. The oscillator certainly takes up more real-estate on the glass. If you have an oscillator handy, install it on the new windshield and keep the older one as a spare. The newer one should bolt right up.

really? it bolts right onto the existing motor? all I do is change the wiper assembly? So why is there such a big difference in the windshields? aggravating! |

motor/mechanism - all one assembly on the oscillator
