Dan,
Thanks for the suggestion. Until your post, I thought the headlight wiper
inserts were much smaller than the windshield wiper inserts. I'll take a look.

Mark,
When I had my 350SDL and 300SEL I believe I just took existing wiper blade
insert material and cut it to length to fit the headlight wipers, since , as
you have found, they?re pretty much NLA.
That worked well for me, and it was relatively inexpensive.

Friends,
As I mentioned some time ago when asking about another issue (thank you, Curly,
for the solution!), I am almost entirely a lurker and only get to look at
messages late in the day or evening, so please accept my apologies, now, if I
don't respond quickly to questions.
As you can see from my signature block, I have a 1988 420SEL (owned since
1993), with just shy of 290,000 miles, and I'd like to keep it running, and as
complete, as possible.
Presently, I am looking for one headlight wiper arm and a set (or sets) of blades
& inserts for the wipers. My mechanic has been unable to locate these for me.
He has ordered this arm: 126 820 6544
This arm is back?ordered, but is unlikely to become available: 126 820 6644
In addition, he cannot locate blades (I am told the inserts will come with the
blade): 126 820 1245 (or 3 398 113 048)
I have looked online, as has my mechanic, and each site that seems to indicate
the parts are available, so far, have responded that they are not available. I
checked with the Classic Center and was told they are unavailable worldwide (in
the MB family). I have one e-mail out waiting for a response, but I am not
holding out hope.
Does anyone know of a source for these items?
Thanks in advance for any leads you might give me.
Mark
