Removing rear wiper blade on 120d

Rbrown · 09-11-2016, 02:21 PM

Noticed today that my wife's rear wiper blade has a small tear on it. Only 18 months old - but I could have done it by accident when I was cleaning the car - but don't tell her that!

Am I right in assuming that the wiper blade just "clicks" off from the main arm? I dont want to force it too hard incase I cause damage. Struggling to find much online.

Thanks

Looks like the type that has a little clip that you have to depress to remove it.

Thanks. That's what I thought, but can't find the "clip". I will have a look in daylight tomorrow.

They do just unclip. They are simple enough to do. I bought a bosch replacement for the same reason - the blade rubber had started to tear. I think it must be just the tension of the arm against the glass.
