If I can do it, anyone can... E70 rear wiper on my E53

I am usless at DIY, but after changing the rear wiper blade on my E53, and then WD40'ing the spring in the arm, I was still left with a patch at the top of the arc that the rear wiper did not clean.

So I bit the bullet and ordered the 3 BMW parts I needed to replace my rear wiper with the E70 version.

Five minutes at lunch and it was done, sorted, and it works  :) the actual 'reach' is slightly smaller, but its a full arc.

fenj66 they were:
Blade    61627161029
Arm      61627206357
Nut cover  61627161030

They charged me £45.96 after mentioning www.xdrivers.co.uk and begging for a discount
There are cheaper versions on eBay.
