Follow these steps carefully
The Metris (W447) takes a 28-inch driver blade, 18-inch passenger blade, and 16-inch rear blade — confirm yours isn't the larger Sprinter, which takes different blades. Vans with wipers on both rear doors take two 15-inch rear blades instead of one 16-inch.
The Metris parks its wipers low near the hood — set the service position before lifting: ignition on, then off, and within ten seconds tap the stalk down once. Never force an arm against the hood edge.
The front arms use a Mercedes slide-clip (top-lock) connector. Rotate the blade fully away from the arm, slide the plastic cap forward to unlock, and pull the blade off. Hold the bare arm — these tall arms carry strong spring tension.
Unbox the new 28-inch blade and confirm the slide-clip connector is pre-fitted — Metris-specific blades come with it installed. Strip the protector sleeve off the rubber, then hold it against the old blade to confirm the 28-inch length, fin side up.
Slide the new 28-inch blade on and push the cap back to locked until it clicks — that click is the lock. Tug to confirm it can't slide off. Lower the arm by hand, standing where you can control it on the tall windshield.
Repeat the slide-cap swap for the 18-inch passenger blade — confirm the 28 is on the driver side. At the rear, lift the arm, release the old 16-inch blade, and click the new one on. Dual-rear-wiper vans: do both 15-inch blades the same way.
Take it from me: The dual-rear-wiper setup catches people out — they buy one 16-inch rear blade and then discover the van needs two 15s. Check the tailgate before you order.
Run the wipers once to exit service position, then spray washer fluid — never test dry. Both fronts should sweep wide, quiet, and streak-free on the big upright windshield. Run the rear washer and wiper to confirm the rear blade clears its arc.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
