My wiper blades are chattering horribly. Anyone here use non-OE wiper blades? Rockauto has Anco "countour" series blade wipers for about $8 each. Are they any good on the ML? I've used Bosch Icon, Valeo and Trico on other vehicles before...and probably even Anco but don't recall how well they were.

Had my wiper arms adjusted twice at MB Dealership, and the OE Blades continued to judder unabated.

Replace your blades with Bosch Icon Wiper Blades with 26OE (Drivers Side) and 22OE (Passenger Side, US Spec Model year 2015). They are available at Amazon. com with quick delivery and THEY WILL STOP YOUR WIPER JUDDER permanently and instantly. ...and they wipe incredibly well.

I couldn't believe the difference 2 months later so I put on the factory wiper blades and the Factory blades immediately juddered and drove me crazy with noise, so of course I switched back permanently.

Don't hesitate another second!

Alternative wiper parts for Bosch icon are 28A OE and 21 OE. I have not verified actual fit on these, but that is what their website lists for 2012 ml350.

Barry45RPM

The ones I specified are for a 2015

The Bosch Icon works well and can be a good alternative to stock. The trico blades are good also because of their anti-lift aerofoil.

I learnt a tip from Scotty Kilmer youtube channel: you can extend the life of your wiper blade by thoroughly cleaning both sides of the blades with alcohol (denatured alcohol/methylated spirit). Just clean until almost all the black muck is gone from the blade and the wiper blade will wipe smoothly again. I suggest taking the blade off the car to clean it. I tried it and it seems to work quite well. Recommended.

Just replaced mine on ML350 2014 with

Passenger side

Michelin 8522 Stealth Ultra Windshield Wiper Blade with Smart Technology, 22" (Pack of 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DYSDSAY..._7vOcyb23MM08S

Very happy with quality, but I have them on only a week or so.

I use this product on all rubber seals around the car including wipers.

There is 303 similar but this one I like better.

DanD, I've been checking around after encountering rain @ night and my CPO '14 ML350 BTC wipers (21K Miles) smeared to the point I had to pull over so, I aquired some windshield scrub and now searching for wiper blades.

For those reading this post I called the BOSH Customer Service Center yesterday and asked what product they recommended, I was surprised they said: "NONE" we don't have any that fit or recommended for that year/model vehicle.

OK, on to your blades, do they fit snug and have the right connection like the Mercedes OEMs. I need to take a quick trip to Buffalo so searching in Auto Parts stores to see if they carry the Michelin Stealth Ultra. Looks like they're shaped with a foil to keep them down on the windshield.


Lastly, I did see WALMART Carries the TRICO ICE blades if all else fails.

SRNH

DanD, Quick Follow-up.


Thought the Stealth Ultra Wiper Blades you recommended were aerodynamically shaped with a swept-wing spoiler but appears I was incorrect with that assumption.


So, I'm going to try the TRICO Brand ONYX Style, 26" = PN: 26-260 and 22" = PN: 26-220. Found Advanced Auto Parts carries them in this area...........Both TRICO Styles: "Force" and "Onyx" have the swept-wing spoiler bodies.

DanD.

SRNH
Thank you for TRICO will try them next.
I took some pictures so you can see how Michelins are looks like, they comes with an adapter.

SRNH

DanD,

Just picked up the TRICO ONYX 22" & 26" around $25.00 each. These are pretty heft construction, hadn't seen one upfront and personal but they certainly do have a foil.

Spent a good 2 hours using Vinegar then Isopropyl alcohol removing the many Dealer Curtesy Car Wash Wax layers since this CPO ML350 BT 4Matic was a lease vehicle used by a MB Dealer's Sales Rep. Followed it up with Windex so we'll see how they work tomorrow.

Goodyear blades from Costco for under $10 each work well on my 2010 GL.......

Kartergreg

I just recently put a new Costco bought Goodyear blade on the drivers side and it is terrible. The connection to the wiper arm is huge and sticks up a lot higher than the OEM when at rest, and this blade misses a 6 inch swipe toward the passenger side. Ready to try something else.

I agree it's really hard to beat Bosch Icons on any car. They seem to last much longer than other blades. I feel like I've tried almost all the other ones which only lead to smears and squeaking. Mercedes reps themselves (while they can't sell them) speak highly of Bosch Icons.

Allen77

Sorry, did not read far enough down before posting. If you're a Trico fan, try this:
Buy your favorite Trico blade, put it on one wiper and put a Bosch Icon on the other wiper. Let us know what you think. I'm not trying to be smart, I really would like to know. I tried Trico Onyx bc the store didn't have my size in Bosch and after three days I took them back due to squeaking. My Bosch's are still on and don't even squeak when dry.

Barry45RPM

They are absolutely the quietest, longest lasting, best wiping wipers made for the ML. Available at Amazon for fast effortless purchase as I stated above.

DanD.

Does Bosch Icon Wiper Blades with 26OE (Drivers Side) and 22OE (Passenger Side, US Spec Model year 2015) fit 2014 years MLs?

Barry45RPM

Go to Bosch Icon website & enter vehicle info to see what you should order from Amazon. I wouldn't know about any other vehicles other than my own.

DanD.

I did, they don't fit on 2014

MBE550

I have 2015 ML350. Amazon shows 260E and 220E as not compatible. Is the info on Amazon not correct? Thanks.

Barry45RPM

You are right, it does say not compatible NOW. It never said that before. I just ordered another set June 27 but have yet to install them on the car.

I will post when I do install them, (the ones on the car are still good). All that was necessary to install them was to snap off the topmost plastic adapter which comes on the blade pre installed. Doing so leaves an adapterless blade which fits our narrow arm slide in.

Barry45RPM

Tried to install my new Bosch Icon Blade yesterday. THE NEW ONES NO LONGER FIT THE CAR DUE TO A CHANGE IN THE PLASTIC SLIDE BRACKET.. Don't know why they made the change. Too bad.
