Are there any after market wiper blades available for the CLE Coupe? Old OEM Blades as well as a New Pair shudder skip and squeak.
I have thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated the windshield to remove any buildup?
Is it the material that the OEM Blades are made of that causes this?
Any recommendations or thoughts appreciated!!

 

OE blades suck compared to some of the many other options out there. I prefer Bosch.

 

1. Do we know who makes the OEM Blades for MB?
2. Difficult if not impossible to find replacement blades for MB especially newer models

 

If your wiper blades are the newer slide-lock type like my '19 G550 has, there are no aftermarket blades with compatible attachment mechanisms AFAIK. The slide-lock is a patented design that the aftermarket brands apparently haven't decided is worth licensing.
Try wiping the rubber blades with a silicon based windshield fluid treatment (don't add it to your fluid reservoir).

 

Agree...try wiping anything on the rubber of the blades themselves...

Have you used anything (not saying it is good or bad) to clean or coat your windshield? Might have a negative (or positive) effect.

 

I have used a proper mixture of isopropyl alcohol water and white vinegar to clean any film or grit from the windshield and blades.

 

I have the same issue. Pretty maddening for a new car and at this price point. I’ve had this issue on every Mercedes since 2004 (2004 C, 2014 E, 2020 C). There is a post on Reddit that describes how the tension on the wiper needs to be adjusted. Unfortunately this is a common enough problem across all models

 

I use a 50/50 mixture of alcohol (from the pharmacy, not liquor store) and distilled water. Better than any brand I have ever used.

 

Extremely annoying in that these vehicles are certainly not cheap and that MB knows of this and doesn’t correct the issue through better engineering/manufacture.

 

Often with new blades there is a little booklet with what is called "Instructions". Sometimes they are printed on the back of the packaging. I have never, not once ever purchased a wiper blade that did not fit (and yes, I have had to read instructions and put on the INCLUDED adapters.

 

If you drive fast enough you don’t even need the wipers.

In all seriousness, I hardly use my wipers in the rain. The ceramic coating usually does a good enough job to not need them.

 

Truth. Look through the windshield, not at it.

 

Not the answer that resolves my issue but humorous nevertheless 😂

 

Humor helps...beer is the panacea that fixes everything. 😂

 

I just replace the blades and cut to fit. Not sure what your wipers look like but mine I can pry off the cap on the end with the MB symbol and slide the blade out/in. Ive had my current set in well over a year now. A previous set was junk though and didnt last very long, they did seem to be made of a different material. I like these but obviously my luck they dont have them anymore.
