El Cid

What is a good brand of wiper blade for 2010 E350? Have noticed that Bosch Icon seems to be widely available and an "exact fit." Cost about $23, but I assume this is per blade.
Prefer going to Advance, Sears, O'Riley or similar retailer.
Not sure what dealer would charge.
Is it as easy to replace as on most cars? I have always done this myself.
Thanks!

I use the OEM Bosch blades, El Cid. I have tried all of the other brands and they just start streaking within a couple months. I still replace my blades at 1 year. You can buy a set for $31 now and this is a great deal. Sold as a set. The blade can be changed in less than 5 seconds. You rotate it on the arm and pull off.

So far I'm using whatever the dealer is putting as is part of my prepaid maintenance. I would probably buy whatever is the best wiper blade available after free maintenance is gone.

That's a real good deal. I would seriously consider it next time. I didn't know that changing wiper blades in E class was so easy. Damn, I nearly paid $80 for that from dealer but luckily got it done for free (only this time).

I paid about 15 for a set a year ago from rockauto, they were closeouts made by trico. Went on very quickly like the originals. It seems like this car is very prone to streaking and chattering. Using rain-x on the windshield and the blades helps quite a bit. I'm still on that set from about a year ago btw.

Thanks for your input. Went by Advance yesterday and got a Bosch set for $46 plus a $5 future discount. Was going to put them on myself but guy there put them on while I watched. Simplest wiper change ever. Why can't more things on MB's be this simple?

True. Almost seems like it should fall off, but the concept is solid. We need more engineering like that.

On some BMW and Audi, you have to put the wipers in service mode thru the MMI or idrive to change the wipers. I guess not all German engineers think alike.
