2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter — Wiper Blade Sizes

Maintaining a clear view of the road is critical in a vehicle as large as the 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Worn-out wiper blades can compromise safety in rain, snow, or sleet. This guide provides all the necessary information to find and replace the wiper blades on your Sprinter van.

Quick Reference: 2015 Sprinter Wiper Blade Specifications

Note: A rear wiper is not standard on all Sprinter models. Its presence depends on the specific trim and rear door configuration. Confirm if your van is equipped with a rear wiper before purchasing a replacement.

Best Aftermarket Replacements

Upgrading from standard conventional blades to a modern beam-style blade can significantly improve visibility and blade lifespan. They offer more uniform pressure on the Sprinter's large, flat windshield. Here are some of the top aftermarket choices:

• Bosch ICON (Premium): A top-tier, all-weather beam blade known for its durability and excellent performance. It features a weather-shielded connector and tensioned steel springs for consistent pressure.
• Rain-X Latitude Water Repellency (Premium): This popular beam blade applies a Rain-X water-repelling coating directly to the windshield as it wipes, which is a great feature for a hard-working van.
• Trico Force (Mid-Range): A robust and high-performing beam blade designed to withstand high winds and heavy rain, making it a solid choice for the broad windshield of the Sprinter.
• Michelin Stealth Ultra (Mid-Range): A hybrid blade that combines the aerodynamics of a beam blade with the focused pressure points of a conventional one, offering a great balance of performance and value.
• PIAA Si-Tech (Premium Silicone): These silicone blades are extremely durable and leave a silicone film on the windshield that repels water. They often last twice as long as standard rubber blades.

Attachment Style

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter uses a Push Button (also known as a Top Lock) attachment for its front wiper blades. This is a secure, direct-fit connection common on many European vehicles. Unlike the common J-hook, this style requires you to press a square button on the connector to release the blade. Most premium aftermarket blades will connect directly without needing an adapter. For models equipped with a rear wiper, the attachment is typically a Roc Lock style.

How to Install New Wiper Blades

Changing the blades is straightforward:

1. Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield until it locks in the service position.
2. Locate the square release button on the wiper connector where the blade meets the arm.
3. Press down firmly on the button.
4. While pressing the button, slide the entire wiper blade assembly downward, away from the arm, to release it.
5. Align the new wiper blade with the connector on the arm and slide it up until you hear a distinct "click," indicating it is securely locked.
6. Carefully lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield.

When to Replace Your Wipers

For optimal performance and safety, wiper blades should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. However, because Sprinter vans often log high mileage in demanding conditions, you should inspect them more frequently. Replace them immediately if you notice any of the following signs of wear:

• Streaking: Lines of water left behind on the glass.
• Chattering: The blade skipping or vibrating across the windshield instead of gliding smoothly.
• Splitting: Visible cracks, tears, or missing pieces on the rubber squeegee.
• Squeaking: Loud noises with every wipe.
