Wiper inserts
I'm trying to get new wiper inserts for my 2014 E350 but the dealership only sells the entire blade for like $200. The blades on my car are perfectly fine, I'm just looking for the inserts. Does anyone know how to get just the OEM part or know a brand that makes the insert the right size and to Mercedes spec? What do all of you buy and use? Thanks for the help

FCPeuro has Mercedes brand wipers for my car for about $60/pair. Love the lifetime warranty. Wear them out, get new ones free.
Pelicanparts has yours.

MB does not offer inserts, wiper blade search part # 2128201900.

I don't believe those 'beam style' wipers even support replacing just the wiper blade, the blade itself and the springy backbone are all one piece.
I think the Bosch OE Specialty AeroTwin Set part number 3397009825 are the exact fit, with the asymmetric wing like the factory ones.

I haven't tried it myself, but I recall a thread with linked video showing replacement of the "insert" and discussion about buying Bosch Icon blades, pulling the insert and putting them into the MB blades. As some aftermarket blades are "bulky" in their attachment.
Obviously the blade wasn't made to readily take inserts.

I bought a set of Bosch Icons, but hated the way the wiper was stuck up higher than OEM. It was very noticeable from inside the car. I eventually removed the Bosch insert and put them in the OEM wiper arm.

Valeo made the OEM's Bosch Aero twins are an excellent choice, Autohaus in AZ sells them for 33 dollars a set, you can also get the Valeo's without the Benz symbol and wear sticker for around the same from FCP Euro, Whatever you do don't go to EEuroparts, they are a disaster.
And yes both those companies above sell the originals with the logo and the stickers.
