How can I replace the rear wiper blade?
 
Is the rear wiper blade user-replaceable or I have to take it to the dealer?
I have 2001 X5, 3.0i

its user replaceable. any autoparts store should have it...

I can't take it off. It's not like the front ones...

Unless it's broken, don't buy the metal carrier. Just buy the rubber insert. Carefully slide out the old blade by pinching together the fine metal support "ribs" on the end of the blade and reinsert the new.

It's not slidable, it looks like it's scewed in or something. I replaced the fron ones, but the rear one is not like them. I'll take some pics....

Your picture is of the blade holder, replace just the rubber blade insert

Exactly, how do you change the rubber blade? Have you done it b4?

Tomaz 01-14-2006 08:14 PM

As I said in my first post. Just buy the rubber part. The old blade will slide out if you pinch the metal ribs on the end together. I've done it many times.

Thanks for your help, I'll try that
