Thank you for this thread. I had this exact problem this morning with Bosch Icons.

fyi all. BMW no longer provides replacement inserts for any wiper arms. New front wiper assemblies will now cost you about $70. Feel free to complain to BMW 1-800-831-1117 and talk to customer relations. This is a ridiculous "baggage charge".

Thanks. My new Icons were doing this, gotta love the search function!

The search button and you guys are the best! I experienced this problem for weeks now with my driver side wiper not making contact with the middle of the glass. It was getting downright frustrating trying to figure the problem out. I sprayed the WD-40 and worked back and forth the arm but to no avail. Driving in snow and the salt spray from the road made it impossible to see and dangerous. I was about ready to replace the wiper arm. I searched and saw this post went to my truck on my lunch hour and popped the plastic tab off the Bosch comes with, and my wiper blade is now functional.

Thanks!!
