Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm vehicle configuration before ordering, especially for models noted with washer pump exclusions or left-hand-drive requirements. This wiper motor does not include a washer pump. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, inspect the crank arm position and park alignment during installation. On moisture-sensitive systems, verify whether the vehicle uses a rain sensor mounted inside the windshield near the rearview mirror, and bench test the wiper motor and washer pump before replacing either component.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured wiper motors are built from original equipment cores and tested to OE standards for fit and function. The remanufacturing process includes component inspection, bearing service, magnet recharging, solder reflow, and final operational testing to support reliable front wiper performance on select Mercedes-Benz applications.
