Rear Wiper Stolen - anyone know where good parts site is?

My rear wiper was taken off the car...Not the entire wiper, but the piece of the wiper that has contacts the window. I could go to the dealer and order another; does anyone know of a good place other than the dealer to pick up parts for our GL's?

Thx in advance...

I've used www.parts.com for a foglight and mesh screen. Both times the parts came from MB of Naperville. Cost was less than local dealers and I saved the sales tax tooo.

parts.com has great prices, but is really slow. You should also look at peach parts, autohausaz.com.

GL550
I used carpartsdiscount.com when replacing the reflector on my GL550. I also used them to replace the fog lamp on my sister's E350. Their customer service is awesome, the package arrived within 2 days (I ordered it around 8pm CST on Wednesday night and it was on my doorstep on Friday) with their standard shipping. They were super helpful and since the rep I spoke to knew how to change out both of these items, he walked me through the steps. It could be a one-off experience with carpartsdiscount, but if anything else happens to my GL, like the wiper being stolen, I would definitely go back to them.

You can also check out trademotion.com (google for MB of annapolis trademotion) since they are also another source I considered using.
