126 windshield wipers

Are there any options other than the high dollar bosch wiper sets for my '82 300sd 126 body?

Thanks--------Robert

Not sure what you mean by high dollar wipers. The Bosch blade inserts are what $6, just be sure not to toss the two thin slats when you pull out the old ones...you have to reuse those slats.

If you are planning on replacing the complete blade assemblies, then they do get a little pricier at what $51 for the pair (and yes, there is a left and right when replacing the complete assembly, directions to determine which is which are included). You should only have to replace the complete assemblies if the little plastic catches are broken. In most cases you can get by with just the inserts.

Robert,
You may want to try something I did a few years back. I removed the Right wiper and arm and only use the left (here in USA). It only leaves about 3 inches on the right side unwiped that would have been wiped if it had both.
The wipers are quieter and cost 1/2 as much to replace the blade(s).
Also I have found blades at Car Quest at a much lower price. And they work good.
