Thanks Lloyd.

before you do that, try to give the ones you have a good clean with some vinegar! I'm serious, you'd be surprised how much life you can get out of wipers.
-
I had a go with some neat screen wash which also does the job though I think they need another wipe.
-
I have only tried Bosch (but the near side did'nt fit) so I just went to the Stealers and replaced both for OEM
-
Bosch do a drivers side one which is £13.00 which fits fine and has the reflector on it. The passenger one is BMW only. I had to fit new ones last week. I had to order them, neither of the dealers up here had them in stock.
Part no's B61.61.8.217.714
B61.61.8.192.874 £40.20 inc vatHope this helps

Got my Bosch ones on Ebay about 6 months ago. Bought as a pair for E31 - about £8 I seem to remember.
Only - and I mean ONLY difference (apart from smooth, clear and quite wipe) was the lack of a BMW badge moulded into the spoiler clip - which can be transferred if you are very particular.Also tried a set of the new low profile ones as used by VW/Audi - disaster - got my money back.
-
How strange with the set of Bosch wipers I bought (Halfords) only the off side wiper would work correctly, the near side would not be in contact with the screen when the wipers were used.
maybe they have addressed the problem as it was over a year ago now -
I had the same issue Wayne....Halfords bosch wipers.....n/side one drove me nuts....kept thinking it was the way i had fitted it.
-
I had a guy from Halfords trying to fit them as he didnt believe that they didn't fit correctly
-
Wayne you let a Halfords member of staff near your car
A friend of mine had a cd player fitted and when he looked there were screw driver marks all over the dash , Halfords ended up paying for a new dash surround and giving him the cd player for free.
Your a braver man than me
-
With the Halfords passenger one I had to use a Dremmel to grind away part of the connecting shroud before it would lay flat on the screen
-
Do non-BMW wiper blades produce an annoying clicking/knocking sound at peak of their downward stroke ? A noise that disappears over 40 or 50mph due to increased pressure on the wipers ?
If so then I might guess that my blades are not the correct ones too. If not then I guess my problem is gonna cost me $$$$$
-
I know i shouldn't really ask Wayne, but did Halfords fit your wheels????
-
Very funny Steve.
Wheels are all sorted now just have two basically new spare tyres now -
Sorry to drag up my own old post but I was looking around the net for the Bosch ones that my local specialist said would fit and came across this site http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/ which sells the correct wipers for around £21 delivered. Reckon I'll give them a go and thought it might be useful for some of you guys.
-
Well Seb let us know how you get on
-
I know its a bit wasteful, but I buy some 24/26" Bosch premium wiperblades, remove the rubber blade and fit that to the original BMW blade holder. This way you have the best blade and a perfect fit.

Wipers
Got to laugh....stick with me - this is funny
About 3 years ago I had the wiper motor replaced under BMW Warranty.
Easy...?
No.
They cracked the windscreen (der)!?
New screen sir?
Yes please.Went to pick up car.....
Thought.....I'll just check the wipers.
Back and forth they went.
Then parked half-way up the screen!!!!!!Gordon Bennett...main dealer too!!
Taxi home sir?
Yes please....and can you deliver car later.
Of course sir!Then the windscreen washer bottle cracks (under warranty) - yes it leaks! OK, we'll replace it under warranty.
What do they do next?
Fit the washer bottle for an E31 without H/L Washers!!
Why is still leaking?
Because they cut a hole (badly) for the H/L Wash-Pump!
It's not difficult is it?
All those shiny certificates on the wall too......
