My dealer says MB will no longer sell just wiper inserts
I was picking up a replacement windshield wiper blade for my W210 and spare insert for my old blade when the parts guy at my dealership told me that MB will no longer sell the inserts separately, only with the entire blade. Not just the 210 either but all of them. Since the inserts are only $10 and the blade is $22, I bought the last 4 inserts he had left there which he claimed would be the last ones they ever will get in. Fastlane and others get $20 just for the insert, so this seems like a case where the dealership is the "bargain" place to shop.
If you replace the inserts only you might consider buying some if you can still get them. It maybe that he was making the whole story up to sell more of the inserts, but he seemed sincere.
