w124 wiper question

[et1123]

It calls for a 23" but many of the replacement wipers that are supposedly for the 300E use a 24" wiper. While I was changing out blower motor my wiper arm fell and broke the retainer so I have to replace the wiper blade.

If I use a 24" will that work? So far I have only found one wiper that will work on the arm, which was the Icon by Bosch, but I let the sales guy sell me a 22" because they didn't have 23" in that model and he said 24" wouldn't work. But upon further research I noticed that many of the Bosch replacements for my exact model/year use a 24".

bottom line, does it really matter 23 or 24"? I do have the articulating system, of course.

24" Bosch almost too tight on my car. It goes UNDER the "lip" on the A pillar. So a 23" would work as well.

The 24" blade is a smidge too long. And I have found that the 23" is in short supply for some reason, but that's the correct size for the W124.

If the auto supply shops can't keep any around, the dealership should have them readily available.

go to "Buy Parts" in the header at the top of this screen. Fastlane has the right size and just about any other part you need.
