| My old OEM Bosch wipers chattered due to age. I just purchased new OEM Bosch wipers with air deflector from dealer parts department. I think they were $18.95 each. I was prepared to be ripped off for $25+ so was happy. Previously I purchased Bosch replacements from Pep Boys without the air deflector, I think for $11.95 or $12.95.
I just returned from a rainy trip to DC. The new OEM Bosch wipers worked great.
I am chagrined to be throwing away such a huge assembly just to because the blade wore out. On my prior three BMW's, I could purchase just the rubber blades from the dealer. I would then dismantle the old wipers, remove two metal strips, insert the metal strips into slots in the new blade, and reassemble the wiper. |
