I just had my 10000 mile service done at the dealer. Not too bad, or at least not as bad as I thought. But they did mention that I needed to replace the windshield wiper blades (or at least I thought he was talking about the blades until they quoted the price)

Maybe they were talking about the blade and the arm and the motor and the windshield... OK well not that bad. Anyway the price is $73 for the set!!!! Now I realize that these are MB products, and I know that EVERYTHING seems to be way overpriced (I have never owned a MB) but $73 for 3 windshield wiper blades seems to be way over the top! Anyone have a sight that has aftermarket wiper blades for less? Before anyone says anything....... I DID USE THE GOOGLE SEARCH! Yes I know, google is my friend.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

I like smartmadness just for that reason! Genuine parts for a fraction of the cost!

That and some other accessories.

Since my own favorite vendor charges 18¢ more, Smart Madness is "much less" and a "fraction of the price" after all. To be fair, there's a 96¢ difference in shipping, too.

If you can conveniently pick up from your dealer you might be surprised at the price.

Don't forget the $73 price is for COMFORT wipers!

Okay then, What about that back wiper?

NeWave,

We just got the wipers in and did not really know the demand. So, our initial quantity was low. We did not order the rear wipes and I have no idea on how much it will cost.

I will drop an email, find out and put it on our next order. We will do our best to get it here at a price that is competitive. As always keep please keep in mind that we now have over 500+ products in stock. We do our best to always insure stock and the lowest price around, but with so many items it is rather difficult to always have the lowest price on everything. That is why we offer a guarantee. Find it elsewhere in stock for less and we will match or beat that price.

Thank you,
Boris

Thanks Boris!
The way I was looking at mine, it seemed to have a refillable blade of some sort... The blade just sort of bends and slides out. Maybe I can experiment with that...

Yes, there should be refill blades available. I've never paid as much as some prices quoted here for new wipers. I guess because all I replace is the blades themselves. I'm going on a year and a half with 34k miles and the original blades are still doing just fine for me.

We just received pricing for the rear wiper. We will be able to offer it for $14.99 and we will also do a package price for a set of 3.

Right now we have the front ones in stock and we will have the rear ones in stock in about 3 weeks. Once we do I will post and also update our site.

Thank you
