Bosch aftermarket wipers

I searched and have not found an aftermarket definitive wiper solution for our cars. Looking up the Bosch website and found the following replacement options. Anyone tried them and have found the wiper attachment clips to be plug and play?

Driver side:
28AOE or OE ICON wipers

Passenger side:
21OE ICON wipers

Anyone know the difference between AOE and OE?

Yup, they are plug and play. Pretty much any brand is plug and play if they say that they fit a particular car.

My current set with a Mercedes logo on the end of the wiper blades is made by Bosch.

Although those part numbers match, I recommend the Bosch 3397007093 linked in previous posts. It's their Aerotwin line, essentially a set of two blades in the package with the correct factory style adapter.

I've purchased my last two sets off of eBay, but were genuine MB. I'm not recommending this particular seller, but it's an example of what I have done.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Ben...lVBd0k&vxp=mtr

It's both front and the rear. And yes, they have the MB logo LOL.

BTW, I use this part number for the eBay search: 2518200845

I think it's pretty smart that the seller packaged the front and rear kit together. In addition to the separate part numbers I will nest both part numbers under a single sku as a kit
