Product Details

CARDONE’s Windshield Wiper Motor line is built around remanufactured OE cores and re-engineered to deliver factory-style operation. This approach is especially relevant for Mercedes-Benz GL350, GL450, GL550, ML350, ML450, ML550, ML63 AMG, GL320, ML320, and ML500 front wiper applications where correct park position and smooth sweep are critical. Part number 43-3426 is a front windshield wiper motor with no washer pump included, and it is supplied with an instruction sheet for installation reference.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz 1648201742 and 1648202442 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Wipers that stop mid-sweep or fail to return to park
• Intermittent or inconsistent wiper motor operation
• Noise or drag caused by worn internal motor components
• Poor wiping performance from a weak or failing motor

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2006-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350, front; 2010-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML450, front; 2008-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML550, front; 2007-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, front; 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz GL320, front; 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320, front; 2006-2007 Mercedes-Benz ML500, front; 2007-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450, front; 2008-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL550, front; and 2010-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350, front. Excludes washer pump compatibility. If the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, inspect crank arm position and park alignment before replacing the motor. On vehicles without hidden wiper blades, incorrect crank arm angle can prevent proper park position. If the washer pump is defective, some systems will not allow the motor to operate, so bench test both components before installation.
