Get it outside , a complete set of wiper is around $78. C n C is going to cost you $210.

I have checked these silicone wipers during my 'intensive' study about juddering wipers....& I can safely say that they are not available for new Mercs at this moment. The blade refill on our metal frame won't work as it's too damn difficult to strip & assemble.

oh, that was for my previous ride, not the current w204. sorry for the confusion!

i had no time to check the manual about removing the wiper blade last night, so will check tonight... too busy watching tennis!

Anyone managed to find one for Mercs? Had this few years ago with a Jap car which helps with the juddling problem. Have not seen 1 for Mercs.

Used this brand on my other car, Camry... So far no complain and very pleased. Me intend to replace my merc wiper to this one as well... The juddering problem is giving headache...

I am using Bosch for my wifey's MINI, so far so good not sure if they have blades for Merc.

I got mine replaced at C&C after 1yr. Was told that the pair that came wif the car wasn't 'tropicalised'.

The new one has the MB logo at the tip. Not cheap at $200/pair but it works pretty well. No judder at all.

Btw, Autovox carries the Bosch Aerotwin that will fit the W204 (wonder if that's the MB OEM?....). They were selling it at $70 during the recent ST Car-Nival. U guys can give that a try and post ur FR here.

i may be interested to try it out!! is that just the blade itself, or the whole wiper arm plus blade? i saw that there's a way to remove the blade from the wiper arm, but haven't tried this yet...

Bro, go to autobac and tell the sales rep that you want to test fit onto your ride. If can fit, you will pay for it. The rep will swop for you on the spot without paying first... You don't have to worry about how to remove it, the sales rep will do for you. This is what happened the last time i purchased it.

Mercs wiper is so easy to remove. Turn & slide it out that its, still not sure? Come to gtg FOC wiper remover services provided.

Autobac has Piaa silicon wipers for our rides.

168 if I recall correctly.

jon/bm/hatch:

yup, when i decide to change it, i think that's prob how it is going to go down. of cos, i dun mind DIY-ing too, depends on where i get the blade from. will update u guys when i decide to change!

I have juddering problem with the wiper just 5000km++. Make a complaint to C&C and got it replaced FOC.

Hatch is right. I bought a pair of PIAA silicon wipers for $168 from Autobacs. Works like a charm.

Your wipers judders before tis?

It juddered long long time ago but was resolved with autosol. Search for my old thread "juddering wipers".

I like these silicone wipers becos they wipe smoothly without any streaks or squeaky sound, unlike the rubber ones. Beautiful!

This people just need someone who is more stupider than them and they are done... One is enough.

Is the Piaa silicon at Autobac only the blades or the full wiper? Can we change only the blades?

The PIAA ones come in the full set...ie with frame. No blades, anyway it's almost impossible to strip & assemble the merc blade from the frame....unlike that of the jap cars.
