Strange wiper blade fitting.

[cfc123]

Hello people, I’m new here. Just bought a used clc 200 cdi se. Thought I’d change the wiper blades. Searched online, found some wiper blades, filled out all requested information. YES THIS FITS YOUR VEHICLE. No they ****** don’t. The fitting on my wiper arms appear to be a wedge like shape. I’ll,put up a couple of pics. I’ve tried searching for wiper blades with this odd fitting but, found nothing. Any help would be much appreciated. These are the old fittings.
This is the new fitting. Spot any differences?.

What a palaver, been on so many sites looking for these wiper blades. Champion apparently make some. Just try finding some to order. I think I’ve cracked it with some Bosch blades. We’ll see once,they’re delivered.

Problem with blades now is so many manufacturers have thier own fittings amd although you can pump your reg into a million and one sites although you get the right sized blades from a reputable manufacturer more often than not the fitting it not right.
As Wighty, sometimes its just easier tonget from MB as they will fit. The blades for my W251 dont have the conventional fittings - push turn click (filling through the 5 adaptors to get the right one), they literally just pop on and off in a millisecond.
Plus Infind MB blades last a good few years despite what the yellow sticker says.
