Frequently Asked Questions
What size wiper blades does a Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class take?
Every SLK-Class generation, the R170 (1996-2004), R171 (2004-2011) and R172 (2011-2016), takes a 22 inch (550mm) blade on both the driver and passenger side. Only the connector changes between generations.
Does the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class have a rear wiper?
No, the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class does not have a rear wiper blade. This model is fitted with two front wiper blades only, which can be confirmed in the specifications on the product page.
What wiper connector does the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class use?
The R170 uses a J-hook connector, where the hook on the arm passes through the blade adaptor and clicks into place. The R171 and R172 use a pinch tab connector that releases when the tabs are squeezed together.
Can R170 SLK wiper blades be used on a later SLK?
The blade length is the same 22 inches (550mm), but the R170 uses a J-hook connector while the R171 and R172 use a pinch tab connector. Owners should order by generation using the table above so the blade fits the arm.
How often should I replace Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class wiper blades?
Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class wiper blades should generally be replaced every 12 months, or sooner if they streak, smear or chatter. On older R170 models, a tired arm spring can stop even a new blade from wiping cleanly, so check the arm tension at the same time.
