Winter wiper blades 2010 ML
My 2010 ML350 wiper blades collect ice in certain conditons. While this isn't new for my cars in general, I always equip my others with winter wiper blades, which fixes the problem.
Problem is, my ML has the proprietary wiper connectors that force me to use only M-B parts. As far as I know, there is not a M-B option for winter blades.
Are there any alternatives out there?

Did you find correct model from Bosch ? I see you are in Canada and I am wondering if you can share some information ....

I did have a set of RainX blades that were fine for about three months then deteriorated rapidly, and I currently have silicon blades that carry a 2-year warranty (can't remember the make, but they were expensive -- maybe $25 each -- and I got them at Canadian Tire). They are excellent and almost teflon-like when it comes to ice and snow not sticking to them. Both sets came with multiple adapters and I had no trouble fitting them to the ML.

I see you have an '09 ML. I believe the '10 is different and IS proprietary. None of the adaptors that I have collected in a coffee can are anywhere close to my '10.
I was disappointed with the RainX because snow and ice stuck even more than conventional blades when the temp got under 10 F. That was on my '03 C Class. And no, the RainX adaptors don't work on my ML.
Maybe I'm not trying hard enough?

I have the 2010 model (actually built in 2009) which uses the aftermarket multifit wipers.
And Bosch do not actually make wipers, they only market Asian wipers under their own brand name.

What are the 2010 fittings like? On my '09, there are two small v-shaped catches about 2" down the sides of the arm, and there is a slightly curved lip across the end of the arm. The wiper has to fit first into the two v notches and then it swivels up and snaps onto the end fitting. For my most recent set of blades I had to use pliers and bend the end fitting maybe 1/16" as the latch on the blades wouldn't quite snap into place over the end fitting as it was.
