wiper blade replacements

where is everyone getting their wiper blade replacements?  I have a 2001 S500 with the bosch aerotwin blade wipers that I believe was standard.  my local Shucks auto store doesn't have the size and can't order them.  The dealer wants $85.00 fr them. any alternatives?  I was blown away they could tell me thaqt with a straight face.  no wonder car washes are free!  HA!

I had the same experience although I think I paid $68.  I hope someone does have an alternative.  I was trying to find just a refill for the blade and couldn't find that either.

search on wiper blades, the Areo are $45 for a pair, I dont remember the refill price if it is doable there are 3 options

Michelin makes the same blade as the Bosch for about $15 each at Sears (saw it today), Wal-Mart also has it. NOT THE CHEAPER REGULAR MICHELIN BLADE, the proper MB blade should run around $15. I have them on my Odyssey and got the Bosch blade (identical to the Michelin) from Arizona Autohaus for $44 a set for the S430 before I discovered the Michelin. I added an oil filter to crack the $50 mark at AZ to get the free shipping.

Is the Michelin an exact replacement blade and not just a refill?  If so, what other application does it have...which other cars does it fit?  Seems if you ask most places for Mercedes parts they say they don't carry them.
