Would not using the wiper much extend its life? My car I dont take out in poor weather including rain so the wiper is barely to never used.

I will open it up when the weather gets warmer and grease the bars.

Not in Canada. MB dealer list here is about $915, but the part can be found for around $800. Mine is skipping and I'll be getting poor for the love a wiper soon. I'd love to buy from Fastlane, but they no longer ship to Canada.

wiper blades only work on high speed and often will not finish cycle when shut off.
