I’ll just say again that the two 22” Bosch Aerotwin wipers I got for our ‘22 GLC300 work just great. They’re quiet, wipe perfectly and seemingly cover the entirety of the windshield.

If one or both were 24”, they might work well also. But I don’t in any way perceive that the wipers are not long enough.

Might want to buy single 22" blades.
This is not a bad idea, as #3397009843 are so hard to find, not least because Google and most of the suppliers will show you all kinds of other SKUs, even when you search "3397009843". Also, two separate 22" wipers seem to be cheaper than the pair:

I had that idea as well, but O'Reilly's website says the wiper blade you linked to doesn't fit the GLC 300 (or 43 AMG). Maybe it has something to do with the connector piece being incompatible, I don't know. I'm still sticking with eBay as a source for the 3397009843 set.

Not sure about you guys, but I got a cheap set on Amazon which works just fine and was a 3rd of the price of Bosch blades.

Due to the heat here in Northern CA, I need to replace blades every year anyhow, as the sun and the heat eat up the rubber. So, no need to drop 40 bucks on some wiper blades.

I found some! Tried O'Reilly.com again yesterday and they were back in stock. Just got the email that they've shipped, so looks like I'll have me some Bosch Aerotwins #3397009843 on Tuesday!

Sorry, maybe they changed the wiper design recently? They fit my 2020 GLC 43.

I think it's just that the databases haven't been updated yet; Lastvin still says my VIN is invalid! The X253 Facelift was 2020 so my car and yours a pretty much identical. If the wipers don't fit for any reason I'll return them to an O'Reilly's location about twenty minutes from my house, but I'm betting they'll be fine, and quiet I hope!

Just put the Bosch Aerotwins on my car. Easy to install, work fantastic! Super glad O'Reilly got them back in stock after trying twice over eBay and having my order canceled.

If you've never changed your wiper blades, this video shows how easy it is. The manual was basically zero help (of course).

I got my set for my ML earlier this week, just in time before some snow and rain. A little bit of stutter at the bottom of the driver's side but they're clean and quiet. My set for the GLC arrived yesterday and I plan to get them on today....

Just FYI, the 2x22" Aerotwins are back in stock at the eBay seller with the best price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/363625095145

GLC300, C300
Also, Summit Racing has them at a lower price than most places online. I ordered 2 sets to save on shipping. I think the bill was $86 to my door.
