bought some new windshield wipers and I have absolutely no idea how to change them out on my L400. Anyone in/around victoria who can lend a hand?

thanks, I had seen that post which did prompt me to go out and buy the wipers...I will go and tinker and see what happens. I know the connection isn't a philips screw so I think i will be able to change it out...just gotta tinker

My hubby simply removed the rubber strip from the new wiper blade and inserted it into the existing blade arm. Worked like a charm.

I suppose these could be again just for S2 but if they are for S1 it either indicates that you can use regular wipers just don't remove the hook, or if you get these you can then keep the hook adapter from this set, I will try to remember to look at mine when I get home tonight.

well it turns out the wiper attachment is just a Hook style, so the wiper just slipped right on, trouble is however that it isn't clicking as the instructions suggest it should. Drove around all day in the pouring rain and it seems fine. Thought about doing the rubber exchange as suggested and just couldn't figure out how to do it properly...
