Purpose and fitment

The presented arm has been designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R231 generation, taking into account the windshield geometry and the factory wiper system. The placement on the vehicle is the front passenger side, which guarantees the correct operating angle of the blade and proper pressure against the glass throughout the entire range of motion.

Thanks to a design compliant with the OEM standard, the component retains factory mounting points and appropriate rigidity, which reduces vibration and noise during wiper operation.

Construction and technical function

The wiper arm is responsible for transferring motion from the drive mechanism to the blade, keeping it in a stable position relative to the windshield. The properly selected length and profile of the arm ensure even cleaning of the windshield surface on the passenger side, without leaving blind spots.

The component is made of material selected for its resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, which is essential for long-term operation in outdoor conditions. The arm's design allows for secure attachment of the wiper blade and easy replacement of the blade itself during use.

Performance characteristics

As a part from the Wiper arms group, the product directly affects driving comfort and safety in rain, snow, or when the windshield is dirty. A properly selected and functional arm minimizes the risk of blade skipping, uneven pressure, and streaking, which is especially important at higher speeds.

The used nature of the component allows for an economical replacement while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications, without the need for modifications to the wiper system.

Why choose used OEM for your Mercedes

Original wiper arms are designed for a specific body model, which is why their geometry and rigidity are precisely matched to the windshield and the drive mechanism. In the case of a Mercedes, maintaining factory-quality fitment is important both for cleaning efficiency and for the durability of the entire system.
