MAGIC VISION WIPER REPLACEMENT

Hello All,
Just a heads up, I recently replaced the wiper blades on my 2020 S560 4MATIC that were chattering miserably.
I bought these blades as they were made by Valeo, the manufacturer of the MB OEM blades and they are identical to the OEM with the exception of the MB logo.
They were literally a "snap" to install and work perfectly.
Prompt shipping and good website.....

Be careful changing your wiper blades, the springs on the arm are strong enough to crack your windshield, if they slip. Just sayin’ 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ha, thanks for the advice....
I placed my wipers in the service position, (ignition on, then off, hold wiper end button down)
Makes it pretty easy to do the swap.
I am tall though, 6'4" so if others have difficulty I guess the danger of cracking the window could be mitigated by placing a towel over the windshield.

Just paid $151 via the online store of my local dealer. True they don't have the lifetime FCP warranty but I ordered and picked them up same day.

Just got my free annual set from FCP euro. Purchased a set 4 years ago and send them back every year for a new set. I think I am down to about 40 bucks a set after this set. Super easy process.

Oh well,
At least they work perfectly.
No chatter and clear wiping.

If they don’t chatter, that’s a win!

When I bought this car new, I faithfully followed the dealer’s service recommendations and actually paid full freight for a wiper blade replacement at 10,000 miles. Up until then, my wipers were “magic”. It was just another feature that made me realize how excellent the engineering was on this automobile.

The new wiper blades chattered!

Now, out of warranty, I replaced the blades myself with these made by Valeo after learning about them from this forum a few years ago. Apparently, now, MB branded parts are available at similar discounted prices.

I've had 3 sets of MB branded MV wipers, and 2 of them chattered terribly. In fact I actually recently put on the old set which didn't chatter that I kept in case the new ones did and will keep on using them as long as they wipe.
