change windshield wipers

I need to change mind badly. One of them is actually making a small scrape across the windshield. Is there any solution that can be used to fill it in? Also I found these wiper blades on ebay but it claims "These Aerotwin Blades fit on Mercedes Benz S Class W220 (model 2003 and up) with aero wiper arms and give your car an unmistakably authentic sport appearance." I have a 2000 S500, will this be a problem?? Thanks!

Sorry that they gave you the wrong blades, Bosch is oem for Mercedes but most people do not know the proper model / size to order. If I remember right they are 27's or 26's. Call my guy and he will set you up.

the aero ttwin balds use a differnt bracket. was it supplied.

the aerotwins are much better than the usual blades. they countour the screen amazingly.

to keep it cheap replace the rubbers only as opposed to the entire wiper.

indeed they are expensive, in the UK they are expensive about 110 US dollars, you guys are lucky, everthing cheaper on your side of the posd
