Overpriced wiper blades

I have 2019 gle 350 and need new front blades but can’t get over the price approximating almost $100.....thought by now,they’d be more reasonable. Any idea why such a ridiculously high price? Are there any vendors that don’t gouge?

Is that price from the dealer? That's absurd. My dad has a 2016 GLE and we got front wiper blades for 54 dollars from the dealer. Even that's kind of steep but 100 is a scam. Try another dealer. No way they are ever 100.

This place is a joke.
Do you have the magic wiper option? (The blades that squirt fluid)

Amazon and eBay are your friends. But first get the blades OEM part number.

Are you looking at OEM only? I did a quick search and there are a ton of different ones for $30-40 (not OEM, though). For example,

I'd love to know if the amazon one's are good so I don't bother with OEM in the future, keep us posted if you order. Thanks

One of my front wipers broke after car wash - I must have forgot to turn if off and stupidly did not turn on car wash mode. Has anyone bought a replacement as I'm wondering if replacement comes with plastic part that attaches to wiper arm? Thanks.

Yep. Beware of Squirting wipers. They do cost more.

I don’t see anything overpriced here. From what I gather, this is for the prior W166 GLE and $100 for a complete set of wipers would be ok. The blades can be replaced if memory serves and should be less than $40 OEM…
