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!!
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).

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

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.
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.
