Hi,

Well, nothing seems easy. The monowiper in my '94 e420 was experiencing difficulties, so I sourced one from a 1990 w124. My mechanic installed it but appears to have accidentally discarded all of the rubber windshield trim that runs across the bottom of the windshield and prevents water and debris from getting into the cowl. I ordered what I thought was the correct trim for this car, but it appears that Mercedes may have changed the design somewhere along the way. I found a picture of another MY '94/'95 w124 (I have no clue or pictures how my car appeared before the repair in this regard), and it appears that the windshield trim was one piece that ran the full length of the car. The current parts picture seems to show that this part is now broken into 3 pieces. Is this right? Unfortunately, the center piece is listed for well over $100.00 at the dealer. I would prefer to source one from a parts car but this may not be possible if this is a newer change to the part. Of course, the new trim strips (pictured below) will not snap into place at all. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Brian
