Wiper linkage broken - anybody any experience?

Post by efcbluepete » Sun Mar 14, 2021 1:17 pm

Hi,

My 2007 X3 passenger side (uk) wiper was catching on the bonnet. Eventually, it got to the point where it completely snagged.

I've got most of the bulkhead type covers (incl. Pollen filter and case) off and the plastic end piece has broken, but the linkage looks a nightmare to get off.

I can't seem to upload photos from my phone, but anyone who's sorted this would almost certainly know what I'm on about.

Any pointers, guidance or similar greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Pete

You can add photos by using the ‘Add files’ button lower down in the Editor. They have to be uploaded separately and then use ‘Place Inline’ function to put them into any posts.
