headlight wiper refill help

I am having great difficulty locating the rubber refills for a 1984 500sl headlight wiper. Does anyone know a source? Dealer says no way, Bosch says no way.
Thanks

This may be worth a try. Go to your local McParts store and try to find an insert with the same cross section then cut to length.
Good Luck, Dan

Yup, Even the Bosch refills here at Fastlane needed to be cut. That's a pretty narrow frame on headlight wipers. What would they cross fit with?

That's a good tip - do you recall what blade (application) you bought?
