It's shorter but not by much.

I recently fitted one of these to my E53, fits perfectly and looks great! :thumbup:

You can in my picture, actually see the size difference, on the rear window glass itself, just on the tip of the wiper.

Looks like this:

It's a bit shorter, no? How is the preassure against glass? Have you used it yet?

It is a bit shorter, the arm, wiper is made of plastic, very light. Been using it for a couple of months with no issues. Works well for the price. Happy to get a more updated look without looking like a Volvo or an E70 for that matter...

Trying to get clarification/understanding so that a mistake isn't made...are you saying the e70 rear wiper is an easy swap? We can assume that the nut (#4) that holds the e70 wiper arm/blade /cover (#2/#1/#3) to the wiper motor (#5)...will screw right on to the e53's wiper motor?

will E70 rear wiper arm assembly parts: #1/#2/#3/#4 swap directly over to the e53 rear wiper motor?

....can E53 rear wiper parts (#3 - #9) below be removed and swapped with the part mentioned above from the e70?

I may be confused, but I don't think that is from the e70

Are you referring to the pic in post #86 of the rear wiper...or the diagrams I posted below the pic in post #89?
