My wind screen wiper blades are due for replacement I think. They are starting to make a rubber grinding noise when wiping.

Does it matter what wipers I buy because my car is a Right Hand Drive (Australia) Mercedes? Are all the blades the same?

Also, does anyone have any good reliable websites I can get them from? I only want the ones that a Mercedes dealer would fit, not aftermarket.

 

What year is your car? Is the passenger side one curved? I got Bosch ones from a seller on eBay here in the UK.

Parts numbers are on there so you can look them up in Australia. I think the later W203's had different wiper arms so not sure how much help this is lol.

 

If you have the Bosch Aero-Twin wipers, you can get just the blades for about US$6 per pair. They are easy to install. Unfortunately, my car is the one that lives out in the weather so cheap wiper blades are a good thing and these are just fine. http://www.rmeuropean.com/Part-Numbe..._5FE88943.aspx
I think they also have blades for Valeo, too, but I couldn't find them. It might be worth a phone call or email. There are videos on Youtube that explain how to install them if you think you need them - the Valeos are a little more complicated than the Bosch.

I forgot to say that the blades (at least for Bosch) are extra long and you trim them to length so RHD or Wrong Hand Drive shouldn't matter.

 

The year and details are under my avatar. 2006 with the twin wipers.

 

Based on the mounting points (dead centre as well as symmetrical), I'm 95% sure the blades are the same between LHD and RHD.

 

Are the websites linked here aftermarket or actual mercedes parts?

 

why not buy oe mb not a fortune get cheap blades & risk scratching windscreen

 

I want OEM blades. But want to buy online.

 

I use Bosch Aerotwin made especially for Mercedes C class. I get them from Amazon. They are more expensive than other Aerotwin wipers the same size, but they fit perfectly with no fussing or cutting needed. The work like OEM blades too. I think Bosch is the OEM supplier, so you can get these and the only thing missing is the OEM box.

 

Sorry to bump an old thread.

I got a quote from the MB service centre. $133.90 fitted. Not just the rubber blades but the set.

I really wanted to get the ones with the MB part number (call me silly but I like to keep it like that) and I found them online for about half that including shipping. But I have to fit them myself (not a problem).

I'm going to pay the $133.90 from the dealer because I can then deduct them on on TAX being in Australia. Plus I'll have them fitted and if they still squeak or are for any reasons faulty, I can just go back up the road. For me its worth the $60 something dollar extra.

PS
The MB part number is A2038202645
