How to Remove and Install Wiper Blades on the Front Windshield Wipers of a BMW 5 Series

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Windshield wipers

In this video, see how to remove and install the wiper blades on the front windshield wipers of a BMW 5 Series. Grip the front wiper blade with your hands, gently pull the movable blade as shown in the video (without breaking it), and slide it off the arm attached to the wiper. Install the new blade onto the arm (if the blade is not original, you may need to install an adapter if available), and you will hear a click indicating it is secured. Finally, lower the wiper arm onto the windshield and perform the same operation on the second blade. Lastly, test the new blades installed. It is always preferable to install original parts for superior durability and quality.
