Does anybody know how to change the rear wiper blade on a 2-Series Gran Tourer (F46). Mine was making a lot of noise, so I bought a new Bosch one (Bosch model number A282H), which is supposed to be compatible. But I can't figure out how to remove the current one. I tried googling, but I couldn't find anything relating specifically to the F46, and I didn't want to risk breaking it by following the instructions for a different BMW car.
If you insert a thin flat screwdriver blade into the sweep end of the arm between the rocking point of the blade and the case and lever gently it should ping out o.k.
Once you have it out you will probably discover that its audible operational flatulence is down to the set of the blade when at rest making it biased towards which ever side it rests upon. I found that the simple cure was to swop it end for end and refit it. After a few days sitting biased the other way the problem ceases and you can wipe your rear window without embarassment. I would do a clumsy you tube vid and probably break it so I wont but I can send you a few pics if your are stuck. Bon Chance! Ted. `99 2 Series 2.0i Grantour Luxe.
