I think I mentioned some time ago that I was consistently getting OE brand wipers from RA as inventory closeouts for pennies on the dollar. There seemed to be a constant flow of the things into their system. Many that I got were branded NAPA wipers but were Bosch or one of the other major brands, not junk.
Any more I just get the Mercedes ones for the MBs, as they’re not all that bad considering how often they have to be replaced. I think the W210 wipers are around $18 my cost, so I just keep one on the shelf. -D > On Jan 14, 2021, at 3:16 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Took my Dodge pickup for its yearly safety inspection yesterday.
