| Combination problem the wipers are not commonly available outside of the dealer. they have a fitter that is not compatible with the usual supply of replacements. there are no dealers in the columbia gorge. a daughter had one of her wipers ice up and fall off while traversing the columbia gorge one snowy eve. she replaced it at a roadside service station. this would not be possible if it had happened with this mercedes. having a bad wiper blade is a real safety issue with me. | |||
