How to replace the windshield wiper blades of a Mercedes CLA?

Model: Mercedes CLA C118, X118 - Years 2019-2025
Part: Windshield wipers

To replace the windshield wiper blades of a Mercedes CLA, start by putting the wipers in service position. Turn on the instrument panel without starting the engine and then immediately turn it off, then move the wiper lever upwards within a few seconds. This will cause the wiper arms to stop in the vertical position, making access easier. Once the wipers are in position, gently lift the wiper arm and locate the attachment point of the blade. Press the release mechanism or clip and slide the old blade off the arm. Take the new blade, making sure it is compatible with your car model, and insert it into the arm until you hear a click confirming the correct attachment. Repeat the procedure for the other wiper blade, if necessary. Return the wiper arms to the initial position by gently lowering them onto the windshield. Finally, turn on the instrument panel to check for proper operation.
