I was looking at the parts catalog here to buy some maintenance parts and noticed there are two type of replacement blades.
One is flat the other is curved.
But, it does not indicate how i can know what mine takes.
Anyone know?

By far the best results come from official MB wiper blades from the dealer. More $$, but they perform AMAZINGLY well.

I second buying wipers at the dealer. Just bought some for all of my 190s. $19 each at the dealer. Whatever autozone had was $13 and in the case of a 190 the wipers are a metric length with an offset mounting, so not only do the dealership ones perform better, but they are the only ones that fit perfect.

Bosch makes the MB wiper blades. You can go to the Bosch USA site, input your model/yr and find the correct one. Best prices tend to be Rock Auto and amazon. YMMV.

Thanks for the replies.

I checked the various sites and Pelican was cheaper for the same parts and since I needed wiper blades and air filters I got free shipping.

Is there anything I should know about installing blades for the first time on my 04 E320?

It's super simple. Just lift the arm away from the glass, rotate the blade, and slide it off. No tools required.

The driver side wiper arm will hit the back edge of the hood before lifting far enough off the glass. The trick is to open the hood to the vertical position, then change the blade.

Thanks, knowing about the hood will make it easier.

Funny thing.
I pulled the car out of the garage today because it rained (I always wash it in the rain) and ran the wipers and wonder what I was thinking about needing new blades.
They work perfectly.

Oh well, they should keep fine until I need them but I have learned about opening the hood so was still worth it

Even bad wipers can still work well when drenched. It is when misted that they show their ugly side.

Go to the MB dealer, and they'll relieve you of over $52.00 for a pair.
