Rear Wiper Blade Replacement

Has anyone replaced their rear wiper blade?

What are the options besides OEM? Anything from Bosch, RainX, etc.?

Thanks.

Tough to beat OEM these days, especially from the likes of BMW. 100% it'll fit. Quality excellent.

The instructions aren't in the owners manual for the rear wiper blade?

If you don't have the paperback version...there's an embedded owners manual in iDrive that is easy to use due to the multiple ways to search. If nothing else, a keyword search using "rear wiper" (in the iDrive version of the owners manual) should pull up the instructions for replacing the rear wiper blade.

You have to remove the entire blade from the spindle??? ID check the owners manual before going thru all that.

Previous gen X5s only require pulling the blade's arm away from the glass then popping the old blade out...then pushing the new blade in and lowering the arm back down.

Ah...good to know a replacement rear wiper blade is still a simple procedure for the next gen...I was a bit worried for a second.
