EQE wiper blade replacement issue

[Pendown]

My EQE's wiper blades are making this crazy noise, so I'm trying to change them. I attempted to use the leftover Rain-X wipers, but they are not compatible. I received a $300 quotation from Mercedes for a new set. Does anyone know of any compatible, less expensive brands?

I haven't had to replace my Benz's wipers yet, but on my other cars, I just swap out the rubber inserts. They last much longer than full replacements and usually good for about 2 years. Before you replace anything, give your windshield a good clean.

I hadn’t thought about just replacing the rubber inserts, it sounds like a more affordable option. I’ll look into that before buying new wipers.
