If you want to stay OEM you can get the Summer Fit on EBay for less than the dealerships usually.

Don't forget the blinker fluid while you are at it.

Folks must take more left turns than to the right. There is always less bottles of left fluid on the store shelves....

Some time ago in conversation with the dealer service manager concerning windscreen washer fluid he stated M-B issued a bulletin stating, not to use RainX as it fouled the reservoir fluid level sensor.

I have used the Rain X treatment that you rub on the windshield. But I was mainly concerned with any solution that was running thru the windshield washer assembly.
