Wiper Blades Needed ..

I just searched the CLK forums and didn't see anything relating to this. I've got an 07' CLK and I went to get wipers for the first time yesterday. I stopped in Autozone and took a wiper off the car. First, I've never seen this style connector before. The arm has a type of clip that slides on to hold the wiper to the arm. The guys in autozone looked up the car and gave me Duralast Flex O.E. style (part SPC-K) which their computer said would fit, however not one of the three connectors it comes with would fit.
What are my options? Does anyone know of any brands that will fit other than going to the dealership?

Thanks dynomite, I ended up ordering them from parts.com. With shipping they were $48. They shipped fast and they are an exact match for the original ones on the car.

Thanks.

Actually I was looking for the ones for a CLK.
I just reallized that the Bosch Aerotwins are the right wipers. It looks more like the correct wipers are the: Bosch 4824 Evolution All-Season Bracketless Wiper Blade - 24"

Does anyone know if I am correct?

Just got replacement wipers at the dealer for my 2005 CLK-320 cabriolet.
They charged $57, but with a $50 new owner coupon from MBUSA [for signing
into their website], the pair cost me $10.60. I'm a happy camper.
