Replacement Wiper Blades

Hello, I am looking to replace the wiper blades on my 2014 SL550. OEM replacements and Bosch - who probably makes the OEM ones, are priced at over $250 Cdn. Has anyone found cheaper replacements?

I ordered a set from Amazon. They actually came from a MB dealer in RI. I think they were around $130.

They're priced the same as OEM. Thank you for the suggestions, though. I'll keep searching!

Without knowing anything about the "red tape" of shipping US to Canada, maybe you could find a friend in US to buy the blades from Amazon and "your friend" could forward them to you. Wouldn't even have to repackage them, just a couple stamps.

Blades $128
Amazon to Friend - Free (according to Amazon page)
Friend to You - What are friends for?

Same problem here. 130 usd turns into 175 can, add shipping and you get close to 200 can. I ended up going to a local shop and they bought the blades for me from MB and passed on the OEM discount. Total was 230 can including taxes.

That sucks. If I find anything cheaper I will make sure to post it here for other Canadians dealing with overpriced wiper replacements.

Find a member that will order them for you and then you pay for the shipping to Canada.

If you plan to keep your car for a while, FCP Euro is exactly where I’d buy expensive parts that wear out - a perfect description for the R231 wiper blades! They have an unbeatable lifetime replacement policy that includes wear items.

So those wiper blades will be the last time you’ll have to spend money on them, assuming you have your car when they next need replacement.

The above valeo part number is for left hand drive cars only, in the UK you'll need right hand drive.
57323 or 57325 are for UK.
