Wiper Blades

Post by henrym3 » Sat Dec 31, 2016 2:26 pm

I bought a set of E70 wiper arms and blades and converted my E53. I wrongly assumed they were all the same. I have the:-put blade at 90 Degrees to wiper arm, slide onto pin, lay on screen. Also I have a 24" and 20" aero twin blades. Everywhere seems to sell 24/19 blades for E70. Can anyone tell me where I can get the 24/20 combo.
Thanks in advance.

Yes passengers side needs 30/40mm (can't remember exact amount I took off) easy enough to do. Suppose only real advantage is ability to lift arms off screen whilst cleaning.

I think it gives the E53 a more modern look
