I have tried the Bosch Aerotwin 24"/61cm retrofit blade on my S210 E320, and the U-clip mechanism works just fine.

The only problem with the blade is that it is 3cm shorter then the original stock one, and the last 2 cm on the end towards the window frame doesnt touch the window glass.

Moreover, the original stock blade, is 30cm from middle to right and 34 from middel to left - 64 cm in total. This is due to the 1-arm construction on the w210.

In my persuit to find a perfect fit Aero blade, that not only works with the stock U-clip closing mechanism, but also has the same 30/34cm characteristica as the normal blade, I've stumpeled upon the VM19 Valeo which is a 25"/63-64cm Aero blade.

Have anyone tried it, and can confirm that this finally is a perfect with for the w210 1-arm wiper construction?


Thanks

Are you an engineer
looks to be correct.Have you tried the 24 in bosch icon blades,no rainx,clean your windows of all road grime with iso alc. and install the icons.Lots of us have great results with the icons and they flex to the contour of the window for a full swipe.

Are you in the uk and can't get the icons?

No, i havn't tried the Bosch Icon. Ive been on the Bosch product websites and didnt see any mention of them - only the Aerotwin.

I might try them out. Do you know what the difference with the Icon and Aerotwin is? As i mentioned, the Bosch Aerotwin I use now is a 24" universal blade (I actually think its made by Bosch for the Vauxhaul), and doesnt touch the window glass for the last 2 cm of the blade surface.

Being sceptical, i have a feeling that the Aerotwin and Icon from Bosch is the same product under different names (perhaps US and Europe).


If not, does the Icon have a similar issue, or is it a perfect fit to the stock?

I just looked after the packaging of the blades Ive bought to check the model number - thought I threw it out.

Its the Bosch Aerotwin A997S, actually sold by Bosch for the Opel/Vauxhaul Zafir
