Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone found after market replacement front wiper blades. OEM asking price is $90+ and that's ridiculous.

Thanks.

I actually found them. They're Bosch BS3397014242. In the US, O'Riley's has them but they're $40-$50. I got them on Amazon for $12. The Amazon listing says it won't fit the 2020 GLB but O'Riley's website says they do.

 

I'm having a hard time finding wipers that fit my GLB250 here in Canada...
the only place that seemed to have this part number BS3397014242 was https://www.thewrenchmonkey.ca but after ordering they emailed me and said they're out of stock....of course
the MBUSA site shows this part number for the car > 247‑820‑12‑02, which is a set of wipers, but again had no luck at all finding them in Canada..

any fellow Canadians that have recently replaced the wipers could chime in?

 

I am not in Canada. You could check ebay, I am pretty sure they will ship to Canada.

Not sure they carry proper sizes or not and not a shill for them at all... but I discovered the ASLAM brand on Amazon couple years ago and love them. They are dirt cheap which made me super skeptical but I use them for my Lexus exclusively now. They are very floppy but engineered for the wind of your moving vehicle to keep them on the glass and it works way better than any expensive RainX, BOSCH, or other brands I've found over the years. They even come w/replacement rubber in the package so if you cared to take the time and replace they are double that much cheaper. I hate to admit they're so cheap I just buy another pair when the time comes but for the environment I'll try and guilt myself into replacing the contact piece next time. My mom has a CRV with a weird curve or something where a lot of brands actually don't come in contact with the glass until they've loosened up or been beaten by the elements, these were squeegee grade immediately for her so I'd imagine would work great on GLB windshield if they have proper sizes.

 

I found the Bosch ones on Amazon and ordered them......but they are about an inch shorter than the OE ones on right hand drive cars (I am in the UK) so had to return them and cough up the extortionate Ł50 from the dealer .....and I couldnt use the left hand drive ones made by Valeo as the spoiler would be the wrong way round

 

Found a good Youtube video on wiper blade replacement that explains on how to activate wiper blade maintenance mode.

 

The OE wiper blades are around $70 if you use one of the various online Mercedes original parts sites. Still pricey, but better than $95-$100. If you use the site associated with your local dealer, they can be picked up at the parts counter with no shipping charges.

 

I picked up a pair from AliExpress for $15, however I did not install them yet, since my Service B is not until December and current ones work just fine. I will replace them before my appointment.

 

Aren’t wiper blades included in the B Service? The service item details poster on the wall at my dealer shows wiper blades included in both A & B.

 

It is not included in my dealership. When I did service A they charged me $120 for front wiper blades. So I am trying to avoid it, this time.

 

I don't recall any wiper blade change in the A service for my GLB, so I checked it. I was there at 11 months, so I guess they didn't even change it... I checked the MB website and it doesn't mention A/B services including any wiper blade change:

It might be just this newer dealership. They list wiper blade replacement and tire rotation. I paid extra for those things at the older dealership. They’re also competitive with 3rd party shops on tire and windshield replacement. There are 7 MB dealers within 50 miles of each other. Competition?
