| Description of the problem | Driver's side wiper leaves a wide water streak when leaving the a-pillar, blocking driver's vision. Sent vehicle back to two dealers for 5 times. Each time the dealership changed a wiper blade, but problem remained. A new mb factory windshield was installed in 2014 summer due to glass damage unrelated to this defect. After that, problem remains. In november 2014, a service manager cited a publication from xentry, topic number li82. 30-p-059239 (c), suggesting that it's a common problem existing on all passenger car model series and there's no technical remedy available, thus refused to provided any further warranty repairs.
