Dealer price for those are $57 for the set, not "120+" plus you pay for shipping there. That's why it says list price is 57.....

Was at the dealer two weeks ago and paid 140+ after taxes for two wipers. Wish I would have saw this. on the contrary though, they dont look like they fit.

The only time they are that price is if you have a 2000 which are completely different and are not the ones that are shown on this website.

Ah, that's why I got screwed

Could not wait to get the new blade since here in IL is pouring. Went to dealer, got the wipers(pair) for $40.00+tax. They are running 20% off on the blades. I thought this was a good deal from stealer.

Early 2001 used the non-Aero, odd, expensive blades too. I had a 2001 S55 and the dearler told me I just missed out on getting screwed.

Avoiding high prices for replacement blades for the W220 has been problematic in the past. The OE blades are 27" (690,mm). The newer style blades (actually, Bosch Aero Twin blades) have commanded prices of up to $150 for a pair through dealerships.

I have in the past bought a 28" blade for the driver side, and a 26" blade for the passenger - since 27" blades are hard to find.

Last week I bought a set of TRICO blades, similar in appearance to the Aero Twins - they were awful. They were flimsy and did not make good contact with the glass, leaving unswept areas. When I tried to bend them for better contact, they came apart. The Rain-X blades look sturdier, but I do not like the look of the mount; it is not as nice as the OE.

I came across this site, selling Bosch Aero Twins at a reasonable price: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/se...ercedes%20Benz. These blades are supposedly the OE blades, packaged differently. The site offers styles for older models at reasonable prices as well. Best part: Two blades are significantly less than dealer prices.

Also, the site offers a pair of Bosch Aero Twin blade inserts at a very reasonable price. I also came across a video on replacing the inserts, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE1ITsXohnM.

And, in addition, my dealership has lowered its price to $66 for a blade replacement set.

$40.00 from stealer not bad at all..

Unfortunately Auto Parts Warehouse does not sell the Aero Twin inserts that it lists on its site. It does sell the inserts for the older style blades. If you order the Aero Twin insert, you will receive the older style, which are not compatible. See http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...ml#post3419344.

I have not found any site selling the 27" (930mm) Aero Twin inserts only.
