Hi and welcome,

I don’t think any of them will attach to the arm, though guess that you have already found this out.

Can you take the rubbers off the new blade & transfer it to the original blade?
I have done this in the past but not with MB's.

Hi sonic I’ve just checked on the blades they are a different style on the new ones which is unfortunate.

Can you get the pin to slide out of the old wiper then use the fitting on the new one?

Difficult to ascertain exactly what will and won't fit without it being able to see and hold it. Sometimes the new fittings look completely different but still connect.

There are a few fitting videos online
