Nice little touch :)

Bought some genuine wiper blades from MB Grimsby's Ebay shop for my 57 plate C220CDI Sport. They were waiting for me when I got home from work. Noticed they have the 3 pointed star logo on them:

Nice little touch. I looked at some Bosch Aero wipers (on Ebay)- these genuine ones cost me the same as the Bosch ones on Ebay.

Yes, genuine M-B parts can sometimes surprise

Do they fit properly? There are some for the B class that slipped through the net and were meant for other Eu countries, indicated by the 3 pointed star. I bought some from Mercedes Bradford with the star on, the angle of the blades were the wrong way around sent them back and the replacements didnt have the star on.

Just fitted them- they fit without any problems. Also noticed that the replacements have a wear indicator telling you when you next need to replace the wiper blades, useful.

Anyone looking to replace their wiper blades, I'd recommend you fit genuine MB ones.

I didn't get any fancy MB wipers when I bought mine from the dealers.

Nor me.

They are all probably made by Valeo anyway

I would ignore the wear indicator. I had the same thing on my last car (not a merc) and they flagged up after a very short time. The same blades were still working perfectly when I sold the car, over 12 months after the wear indicators appeared. I think they are activated by exposure to the elements rather than any wear that actually takes place.
Probably a ploy to sell more wiper blades

Oh......and 'yes' a nice touch with the logo!

Bosch actually- spotted the Bosch logo on the back of the wiper blades.
