These Bosch blades are exact fit - no adapters required.

 

I swapped out my second set of OEM blades for the Bosch blades. While the chattering is noticeably reduced, it has not gone away completely. The blades could further improve after break-in, but the early results aren't what I had hoped for. Still, with better performance than OE blades at less than half the price, I would recommend you give the Bosch blades a try if you continue having stuttering problems after cleaning/polishing your windshield.

 

And ceramic detailing spray took care of the little chattering I was still experiencing. I tried this with the OE blades and it helped very little, but when used in conjunction with the Bosch blades I finally have wipers that work the way they're supposed to. Plus it's the best all around detailer I've ever used.

 

Bosch blades for the win. Purchased both fronts from Summit Racing all in for less than $40 (I did not change the rear).

 

What is name of the brand you’ve had this success with?

I just installed Bosch Blades yesterday. So far so great. Cost me $33 on Amazon. My dealer was asking $90 for OEM at parts window.

 

Did the $90 include rear wiper at least?

 

it did NOT. No installation either. I was shocked. This dealer is none to charge exuberant prices compared to others which is why I travel an hour each way to another dealer.

 

If anyone wants MB oem here in the U. S., I've purchased from Mercedes of Warwick a few times. Regularly around $59 for the front set. Ymmv.

I've tried Bosch wipers many times and they always get loud and chattery

 

I just realized the Amazon ones linked in the other thread here come with the rear wiper too. Quite a good price for all 3 wipers if they perform as well as Bosch.

 

Thanks for this link to the Dealership eBay page. They have the best price I have seen and also offer free FedEx Ground shipping to my location.

I have not tried the Bosch Wipers but I always have preferred the OEM Wiper Blades. I have never had a problem with the OEM blades being noisy as long as you keep your windshield properly cleaned.

 

not often do we see MB dealership selling on ebay, that was interesting indeed.

mbparts.mbusa.com also sell oem parts so i guess that includes oem wipers? I guess it shipped directly from MBUSA?

 

There is this other thread that might have info that might be helpful as well: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...er-blades.html

 

Is there a trick to removing the rear wiper blade?

 

No, it just pops straight out from the arm. It's held by two nipples. See #3 in the second Pic of what the nipple looks like in this link:

Do you pinch it or just pull? Thanks!

 

Just like separating two magnets stuck together. It's a bit awkward because the wiper arm doesn't bend away from the glass much so you don't have much play. Basically grip with your right hand completely around the old wiper blade with your thumb tucked deep inside nearby where the blade pivots. Then get your left hand and wrap around the wiper arm and push the right thumb and right index finger away from the wiper arm with your left thumb/fingers with slow and solid force.

Righthand gripping the blade as close to the pivoting nipples.

 

CMFUSA and wildta,

How have you gotten along over the past two years with the aftermarket wipers ones from aliexpress?

Thanks!
