Note that these are the blades for PRE-FACELIFT "Euro" wipers, I believe, per the dates/info on the back of the package.

Thanks for making these available to the group.

 

[TimL]

@gerryvz, is there a difference between the wiper blades for Euro pre-facelift lights and facelift lights? Always though the arms and blades were identical.

 

[gsxr]

@TimL, all years of 124-chassis Euro wipers are identical to USA facelift wipers.

The only 124 chassis wipers which are different, are USA DOT pre-facelift, these are shorter and have a metal blade instead of plastic.

Being able to refill these plastic blades is a huge help, as noted here.

 

[gerryvz]

Sorry, I should have explained that more explicitly and clearly as the @gsxr did -- the US-spec pre-facelift wipers are different from the Yurro/US facelift wipers.

I just didn't want someone with a US-spec 1992 or 1993 car, with stock US wipers installed, to get these and not have them fit.

If you own a US-spec E500 (or E320, E420, etc. with stock wipers), you're good to go with these wipers (or if you have a Yurro model).

@gerryvs & gsxr,
So if I want to buy these wiper blades for my US 93 500E with the pre facelift Euro E-Code headlights. I would need different motors and possibly different panels to make the blades fit properly?

Yup... all the parts are different: motors, arms, blades, panels. Some parts are NLA new so the best option is to try to find good used components.

Dumb question.
If the Euro blades are the same as the US face lifted E320, E420, E500, can US E320, E420, E500 motors be used on a US 1993 500E with the Euro Headlight conversion, as in Terry's case?

Absolutely! All the parts are the same.

 

[Stevester 500E]

Terry,

You are in luck. Finding e320, e420 motors and such shouldn't be too difficult.

@Stevester 500E,
Sly, Thanks for asking the question. I basically just asked the same question in post #6 above albeit in a different form. As for me, I’m happy w/o the headlight wipers. I think the car looks cleaner and who cares about rain in SoCal?

If I bought a set they would be for the next owner to install.

lol

[gerryvz]

Wow! You’ve sold more than 100 blades (50 sets)!!

 

[Vita_Vargen]

Wow! You’ve sold more than 100 blades (50 sets)!!

There was a very large single purchase

 

[a777fan]

Guesses from the peanut gallery????

 

[sheward]

Jonathan or Captruff, you know it was one of those two hoarders.

 

[Vita_Vargen]

All sold out!

 

[gerryvz]

Jonathan or Captruff, you know it was one of those two hoarders.

captruff didn't say anything about a big wiper purchase last night at dinner. I don't think it was him . Though we did talk for a couple of mins about the wipers!

 

[a777fan]

Thanks for the quick ship vita! I’m now set for life.

 

[gsxr]

Thanks for the quick ship vita! I’m now set for life.

Especially since you can refill the blades when the rubber insert wears out! It's the plastic blade/frame that you really need...

 

[gsxr]

There are some available on eBay now but the price is substantially higher...

W124 headlight wiper blade NOS Bosch Original 500E E500 AMG C124 S124 A124 | eBay

Edit: Price has been reduced from $200 to $150 by May 2024.

 

[Vita_Vargen]

Based on the location it is the person who bought 100 pieces from me @ 45 USD/pair

Edit: If someone in EU wants to skip the toll I can sell them from my personal stock for a matched price

 

[TimL]

I don’t know, but companies like RPM retro can go fly a kite. Offering NLA stock they purchased at a reasonable price for 4 times the price two months later, all under the guise of “offering it as a service to the enthusiast community” is a vile practice that I can easily do without. “Favors” like that are needed like a hole in the head.

 

[500AMM]

Yes, he deserves a good dose of pepper for this.

The parts equivalent of a flipper-dealer, no?

 

[Vita_Vargen]

Even though I sadly dont own any 500E(yet), this feels like a great and genuine community so I will continue to hunt these for you guys here in Sweden.
I will make new posts when I find new ones (will probably be a pair at a time). Prices may vary as I will use about 20% markup from what I find them for here (It should total between 50-70 USD / pair).

@Vita_Vargen -- Thank you for making these parts available to people here, and thank you again for looking out for additional blades in the future. $50-70 a pair is still a reasonable price for those who want the OEM parts; as mentioned elsewhere people can also manufacture their own parts pretty easily too.
