E70 Rear Wiper Conversion = PnP, $28
I know Darren (dpbayly) has done the front E70 wipers and blades in an earlier thread (he was supposed to modify a set of E70 front blades for me but I haven't heard from him), and he also has the E70 rear wiper, which he fitted and is simply a bolt on. I'm debating "undeleting" my rear wiper and putting on an E70 one, and if anyone's looking for a cheap mod, $28 sure is it. Should really give a nice update to the rear end.

These are the same sellers from Latvia that sell the Depo fogs and other items for our E53, I wouldn't be worried about not being good quality assembly, its about half the cost of OE rear wiper assembly, if not more.

Well, the truck needs a new one. What's the cost of the standard replacement blade in comparison?

Cheaper but not by much. Genuine blade will prob cost you 20 bucks itself. Or maybe like $18 if you get a Bosch icon blade or something from Pep girls.

If you like the look for $28 I would get the E70

Why would you even bother, you live in the Phoenix area, I live in California, 9 months out the year I don't get to use my wipers (just the way I like it) so I would imagine you're drier than me...lol! Besides the appearance difference is so minor, again I wouldn't bother, now the rear I would give it some consideration.
