wiper blades
Has anyone replaced their wiper blades with anything but a dealer purchased part?
The blade looks like a Bosch ICON 24", but the Bosch ICON application guide does not cross reference to the 2008/09 W204.

That is a really good question. I am thinking of changing mine also and wondering if one has to buy the blade from the dealership.
BTW, anyone knows of a way to get rid of the "marks" that the blade leave behind on your window after a while?

I believe that the OEM part number is a Bosch number 3 397 009 053, but I have been unable to find it at any auto parts store. It does appear that Anco and Rain-X list replacement wipers that look very similar. Please post if you've been able to find it.

The dealer offered to change my wipers for $70. That is why I was looking for another source. I didn't price them at the parts department. I guess that is what I will have to do next. I just find it dissappointing that Bosch doesn't seem to sell them elsewhere.

Until there are a few more W204s on the road, it is likely too expensive for Bosch to widely distribute them for the few do it yourself MB owners looking at parts stores.
