Wiper blades for W208

I ordered 2 wiper blades for my 2004 MB CLK55 AMG from Rockauto. I used their car model search feeling confident that I'd get a perfect match, I did not look at length in inches.

I ordered this:
TRICO 162812 {#60284312} [Wiper Blade] NeoForm® - Factory Replacement Blade with Teflon® Coating; 28" (700mm) Side Pin; Beam Style: Frameless Design For Uniform Pressure Info

What came was two NAPA 60-2843-12 (28 inch) monsters.
Am I correct that this is a wrong blade/size?

In conjunction with the above, how DO I change this blade? I never saw such a design.

OK, I answered my own question about the wiper blade change. Mine were stuck because of age. First, you insert something like a key in the slot separating the blade from the arm and gently turn it, kind of what the arrows show. Then you pull the piece with arrows away from the arm and lift the arm out of the wiper blade. Very simple.
