Silicone windshield wipers

2000 E 320 4-matic Wagon needs a new wiper blade. I would like to upgrade to silicone but neither PIAA nor Silblade support this car. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have used a Silblade for about two years without a problem, however the arm itself is a universal fit without the lockup mechanism. Fit is very loose but has never come off even at the car wash. I keep a new in box "Original Teile" Mercedes-Benz replacement in the car just in case.

I would advise to stick to the original even though they need to be replaced more often, they're not that pricey if you order a few from Autohaus AZ for about $17 a piece.

Hope it helps

After 9 years of service I am replacing my original wiper blade too. I ordered mine from Autohaus AZ. Part # 3391014509 front 640mm/25" length list price $41.35 AHAZ price $6.46 You can look high and low you will not find this part cheaper.

You may ask how can a wiper blade last 9 years, RainX
