Default Replacement windshield wipers

Howdy all,

The wipers of my E46 where getting shabby, the dealer wanted $26 CDN a pair
for replacement rubber or $70 for complete replacement arms. Decided to go
the Canadian Tire way for new blades, but boy do they squeak and squeal in
the rain.

Anybody else experienced this? Anything that can be done about it?

Hi.

My wiper blades on my E36 went, and I replaced when with wiper blades for $1
AUD each. The blades are generic and designed for most cars. There are no
issues with the wiper arms themselves.

$26 CAD - tell the dealer to get lost. Keeping these bimmers on the road is
expensive as they are without having crappy dealers rip us off!

No problems ;-)

Regards,
