The 124 body are all the mono-wiper, 24".

I tried the Rain-X one on one of my 124s this fall, it didn't flex enough and misses a lot of the windshield on both sides. The other 124 got the Bosch Icon, which failed in a week or two and scarred the bottom of the windshield in the center. It flexed better than the Rain-X but not enough to get all of the way out to the ends of the blade.

The fix for both cars was to get the standard metal-frame Bosch wiper which flexes properly, and doesn't shear from improper flexing/pressure like the Icon did. The standard OE Mercedes wiper on one of my cars is also a Bosch metal-frame wiper (has the Mercedes star on it also).

Skip the Icon and Rain-X.
