2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Wiper Blade Sizes

Keeping your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter safely on the road means maintaining a clear view in all weather conditions. Whether you use your Sprinter for delivery routes, passenger transport, or a custom camper conversion, having reliable wiper blades is essential. This guide covers everything you need to know about the 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter wiper blade sizes, attachments, and replacements.

Quick reference

Use this quick reference table to find the correct wiper blade sizes for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter:

Note: Many Sprinter vans feature double rear doors without wipers. If your specific passenger configuration has rear wipers, check your owner's manual for exact rear measurements as they vary by upfitter and window style.

Best aftermarket replacements

When it’s time to replace the factory blades, upgrading to premium aftermarket beam blades can drastically improve your visibility. Because the Sprinter has a large, curved windshield, beam-style blades perform best by applying even pressure across the glass.

• Bosch ICON: (Premium / High Price) These beam blades are legendary for longevity and quiet performance, utilizing an exclusive rubber compound that resists cracking and tearing.
• Rain-X Latitude: (Premium / High Price) Known for applying a water-repelling coating to the windshield as they wipe, these blades are excellent for heavy rain.
• Trico Force: (Mid-Range) Designed with a swept-wing spoiler to combat wind lift, which is particularly useful on the tall windshield of a Sprinter at highway speeds.
• Michelin Stealth: (Mid-Range) A great hybrid blade that combines the aerodynamics of a beam blade with the structural integrity of a traditional frame.
• PIAA Si-Tech: (Premium) Silicone blades that leave an active water-beading barrier on the glass, offering incredible durability and cold-weather performance.

Attachment style

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter utilizes a push-button attachment style (often the narrow or specific European push-button type). Unlike older vehicles that use a traditional J-hook, this modern connection is highly secure and offers a very low profile. When buying aftermarket blades, ensure the package includes multi-adapters and specifically mentions compatibility with narrow push-button arms.

How to install

Replacing the wiper blades on a push-button arm is a quick and straightforward process:

1. Lift the wiper arm: Carefully lift the wiper arm away from the windshield. Caution: Keep a firm grip, as a spring-loaded arm snapping back can crack the large Sprinter windshield.
2. Remove the old blade: Locate the small square button where the blade meets the arm. Press the button firmly and pull the blade straight out of the arm assembly.
3. Prepare the new blade: If your aftermarket blade requires an adapter for a push-button arm, snap the correct adapter into place according to the package instructions.
4. Install the new blade: Slide the new blade into the wiper arm housing until you hear a distinct "click," indicating the push-button mechanism has locked securely.
5. Test: Gently lower the arm back to the glass and run the wipers with washer fluid to ensure they are secure and functioning properly.

When to replace

Wiper blades are a wear-and-tear item that degrade over time due to UV exposure, road grime, and extreme temperatures. You should plan to replace your Sprinter's wiper blades every 6–12 months. Look out for these signs that it is time for a new set:

• Streaking or smearing: The rubber edge has become uneven or nicked.
• Chattering or skipping: The rubber has hardened and is dragging across the glass instead of gliding smoothly.
• Squeaking noises: An indicator of worn rubber or poor contact angle.
• Visible damage: Tears, missing chunks of rubber, or a bent frame.
