Replacement Wiper Blades

VikingOne · 12-24-2011, 10:34 AM

Anyone know if there are OEM replacement wiper blades available anywhere? UK BMW replacement front blades seem to be £40 per set.

Had the X3 just over two months now, and a week a go the drivers blade started to leave a line on the windscreen following the sweep arc, I have taken off the blade and given it a good clean, no obvious split or dirt on the blade, but thin line still remains, when raining, and its right in the line of sight.

Consult your dealer for free replacement if the blades are defective.

Is each side the same? Swap bad for good side and make do for now? I can confirm that £40 is the OEM price as I also looked at blades price with a view to keeping them in stock till I needed them.

aren't they included in the warranty?

Hi! you could try your luck with the anzo wiper blades. I personally think they're not that popular with the people, but I can attest that it really is a viable brand and that it gets the job done. We don't really need parts that are in there just for the sake of a brand.

Yes the wiper blades are covered under your warranty. I had mine changed after having it a couple of months.

I had my driver's side wiper blade replaced by the dealer after just a couple of weeks.
