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.

So the benefit here is that its just a little sleeker?

Yes.

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

Still got a link back to that thread. I remember it briefly.
I can't recall what was the wipe pattern

Semi Circle pattern. :bustingup

:iagree:

:rofl:

Found the front wiper thread.

Thanks I really needed another mod.

lol

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.
