Rear wiper upgrade- anyone done this?

[SlickGT1]

Sweet ty Q. Yes. That is a lot cheaper than I remember last time looking into this. $15 is sorta funny.

Thanks for this fellas. I just ordered mine... I was just commenting that the e53 arm needed a new blade and looked like garbage. Now, I can spray this one in SEM trim black or the like and not worry about it again.

crystalworks, I know you are only a few months in...is this still looking good/working well? Hard to argue with $15.

I'll probably do this as well

Wish I could tell you. It hasn't seen rain in 3 months. Been mostly in the garage for 2 of them. Waiting for my body panels to come back from paint. Will update though.

Since I'm the one that resurrected this thread (see post #98) back in Nov/2018...I can say yes...the e70 wiper blade is working great. In fact, it's working better than my old e53 rear wiper blade that was starting to not clean/sweep some areas as the arm articulated ...but the e70 blade clears the rain off the rear glass along it's complete sweep.

It's the best $15 I've spent on the e53 in a L O N G time.

Yeah I noticed my E53 rear blade not completely touching the glass around 12 o'clock. It's not terrible, but gives me a reason to spend $15 LOL!

Installed this part this afternoon as I gave it to myself as a Christmas gift (I am cheap). Took longer to get the two tools required than to remove and install the new arm.
Mini blade screw driver to pop off the cover cap and a 1/4 drive 13mm socket to remove the nut. Wiggle the old arm and it just pulls off.
Does it change the look? Some what. Look cleaner yes. Would I do it if I was using OE pats at a $100? No.

Just ordered one. If it works as well as the Bosch Icon I have currently, and even if I have to buy the whole thing every time rather than just replacing the blade, it's still cheaper than the Icon. And it looks better too.
