replacement big single wiper blade on '84 350i?

[drak ula]

the wiper blade on my 'new' ('84) wedge doesn't do much, what is it from? anyone recommend an good reasonably priced replacement? (not that i intend to use it in the rain but would be nice to have a wiper in case i get caught out ;-) cheers

Blade - Measure length and take into your local factors

Wiper arm - various cars will fit but mine is the Sherpa van version

thanks, think the arm is fine, just rubber knackered. cheers

I think Adam Quantrill on here had some rubber whiper blades a while back but I don't know if he still does. Send him PM and ask him.

I do have some but to be honest by the time I post them you would be better off buying locally or direct on the flea - you are looking for 20" (or longer) universal wiper blade refills. You trim them to length with a stanley knife.

I usually bring some to the fest where postage costs are minimised, and flog a few off, as I bought a job lot a couple of years ago.

ahhh, thanks adam, so you just get the rubber part alone and fit that into the steel rubber holder? rather than a new complete blade that clips into to wiper arm. ok will look on ebay, cheers.

THe ones I have are with a plastic rib - which you can get on the flea although around 4 quid a pair.

However there are some that are designed to fit with the existing stinless inserts - these might actually be better, but you'll have to try a few probably before you get the right size. they are only a quid each though from China, order a few at a time and you'll have fun for the next few weeks trying them out...

I have a feeling the one on my car is 21" long... just a generic refill from the local factors.
