windshield wiper replacement

Hi all,

I just got my new GLC 300 4MATIC like 2 months and the wipers are now squeaking, I bought 2 Rain-X latitude 22" as advised from rain-x website but I don't know how to install them...

If anyone knows how to do this, please kindly share some tips, thank you very much.

Have you been using Rain-x of the windscreen?
If you use Rain-x the wipers will skip and squeak.

I totally agree that rainX will cause squeaking. And those blades you purchased i believe are coated with rainx product.

I believe it is explained in the manual.

Thanks for all the suggestions. So I just want to know if there is any non-OEM wiper blades that I can purchase and fit the GLC 300 4MATIC.

I read the manual and I know how to take the original blade off but I am having hard time to put the new one on because I don't seem to find the same attachment type.

Or maybe the only option for GLC for replacement of blades is going back to the dealership and purchase an OEM one?

If anyone has successfully used a non-OEM blade and fits the GLC, please please let me know. I would like to use a non-OEM one instead if possible.

Why not OEM ? I use this vendor (a MB dealer). You may find these even cheaper on e-bay when considering tax and shipping in the cost.

Alternate blades source will soon be these guys;

In the mean time suggest you ensure you are not wasting money when the issue is the glass coated in road film, polish . sealant / water spots, dirty blades.

Mercedes are aware this issue and will polish the glass and often adjust the metal wiper arm to change the blade angle to the glass.

Bosch is commonly the OEM supplier of Wiper Blades to Mercedes.

On my previous MB vehicles, they have appeared to be exactly the same as the dealer fitted wiper blades.
