Question Good source for OEM wipers

I think I'll get my wiper blades upgraded on the next service, coming up in 1500km. So is there a good place online that can sell me original blades so I can compare prices? I'm thinking I'll order them online and then ask the service techs to put 'em on.

Hello Anonymousmouse,

You must remember that we are RHD & that LHD may not fit. I have found this site in UK where I think I will buy my blades when the time comes .

http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/mercede...-wiper-blades/

Good luck, my friend.

JC

I was quoted $148.95 & $130 trade price on my OEM wiper blades. No way Jose!! Bosch or Valeo probably make them for MB anyway.

I will either grind off a little access hole in the end & fit a new infill & plug with silicone or buy these from the UK.

By the way, you can change them yourself very easily if they are similiar to the 204. Just lift the wiper from the screen & rotate the wiper & it will lift off the pin on the arm.

I guess it's much easier on pre-facelift cars. I just slap on Bosch Icons & I'm done.

You are LHD & we are RHD ? They look to be slightly different in the attackment angles.

I gave the wipers a clean and they appear to be ok again. Maybe thats all that was needed.

Glad you got your wipers fixed. I've gotten mine from rmeuropean. If you have the Bosch Aero wipers, they sell just the blade refills for about US$5 per car. The first pair I installed didn't last long, but it might be because I stretched them when I installed them. I've just installed another pair to see if they last longer. They are SO much cheaper than the new blades (and my car lives outside ) it's worth it to me to experiment. I also got a set of the Bosch Aero for my car and the Valeo blades for my wife's so I'm covered.
