W163 Wiper Adaptor


Hi all,
I have a W163 ML270CDI.
The adaptor which holds the wiper assembly to the Wiper Arm is broken.
Have contacted the source in Europe and UK and have not been able to source replacement.
I am told I need to buy the whole assembly just to get the adaptor - see attached image
I am hoping someone may be able to identify the adaptor and advise if available anywhere.
Need to buy 2 x adaptors.

As an option, why don't you go to an autoshop to take a closer look at replacement wipers. I dont recall if they also have that (similar) part included in the wiper replacement.
