Wiper Suggestion

Hey guys,

I have some wipers on my 2009 C350 that are worn out and not clearing the windshield effectively anymore. I have had the car since 2011 and I don't think that they have been replaced since I have had the car. I thought about installing Michelin Stealth Ultra blades. Has anyone tried these before and/or have any recommendations?

I found the dealer blades were only 10% more than aftermarket and came with neat low profile connectors, not the clunky "one size fits all" on the aftermarlket blades.

I recently paid $42 for Genuine Mercedes Benz Wipers online. They look great, have a neat little MB logo and wear markers that change color to let you know when to replace them. The universal ones sold in the auto parts store are not as nice and don't fit so easily. You need an adapter and the pair was barely cheaper than MB.

BTW, you should ideally replace wipers once a year - maybe even sooner. If you have the same ones for the past 5 years, they must be noisy as hell and probably don't clean well. This is something you should invest in as it is a safety device. Additionally, it doesn't hurt to RainX the windshield as well. This provides even better visibility.

Buy the Bosch and save money. OEM are made by Bosch anyway.

While I regret Canada's non-participation here, I also offer a tip of the hat to Señor amoffitt for his timely suggestion.

Dealer provided blades - with MB logo - installation and even washed my coupe.

My thanks to the gentleman from Texas.

No worries. Glad to help. I should of found it sooner but it should be valid until the 31st but I would imagine most dealers would honor it after the 31st for a bit.
