As a kid I was fascinated by the monowiper system in our W124 estate! Still the best system imho

I was about to write the same. I quite liked the monowiper.

What do you expect from a US-centric article? Oh, do you remember those cute and niche European imports from Mercedes, the W124?

Do the US regulations mentioned in the article prohibit the monowiper design?

I don't know, but I'm just saying that such articles are basically pretending that "the rest of the world probably does the same as we do in the US".

The W124 was an emblematic and brand-defining car for MB for more than a decade which also introduced this ingenious design, but they will pretend they know European car history by mentioning VW Beetle, Reliant Scimitar and Lancia Stratus.

Remember headlight wipers?
