The incredible windshield wiper saga
A couple of years ago I bought a set of wiper blades to carry with me on our trips. I was months before I decided to change them out, only to find that the typical automotive types don't fit the arms on a Sprinter.
I tried in vain to find adapters.
Naturally, I went to all the local auto parts places around town and still had no luck getting replacements.
Then I decided to try Amazon, because their "Fit" routine has been very helpful in the past, and as a result I bought a set of Bosch Clear Advantage 24CA and 26CA. It was very discouraging that they in fact did not fit, even though they came with four adapters.
Now desperate, I visited my local RV dealer, at which I purchased by vehicle. The only wiper blades they carry were for Class A RV's, nothing for mine.
On the way home I stopped by a Pep Boys store and talked to one of the guys at the register. He pointed me right to the correct parts, Rain-X Expert Fit B-24-2 and B-26-2.
Problem solved.
