That sounds funny. My wiper blades broke and I couldn't find the number plates in the store.

Have you tried eBay?

W205 C200 Sport Premium Plus. October 2018. 1497cc with 48 volt battery eq

Just checked Halfords online with my reg, no problem shows same blade as the previous model W204 which is wrong W204 was a 24" blade W205 is a 22" blade

Not quite sure I understand your problem. Is it that you can't buy aftermarket blades or because you need to buy MB blades?

No wiper blades in a place like the UK ~ dear me!

One thing I've noticed with the genuine blades is you have far less stiction, judder issues even when silicone or mineral deposits are on the glass.

C220 sport with prem plus
Whilst driving on the motorway, the wiper linkage broke, this made both wipers get caught together and threw one across the motorway.
Luckily the wiper arm became broken so didnt scratch screen. Anycase with one wiper i managed to limp across to dealer.


Linkage was replaced, however they didnt have any wiper blades and had to take two off of a new car in the showroom (this was about 3 months ago) !
