I did a search on eBay for merc sprinter wiper blades and came up with a seller called storm and messages him for some shorter wipers with the kits and he told me how to order them from him and 3 days later I had the set turn up with 2 18" wipers with all the bits :)

Ive been looking at them, so does he do some straight fit wiper blades for the cav? do you have a link? Would you recomend them?

These are the ones I bought

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390417060769? ... 1439.l2649

Just ask him for some 18" ones and they come with hook fittings the only thing I had to do was cut the washer jets of the mounts they come on and move them onto the side of the wiper

But once you get them you will understand
