Replacing Wiper Blade Rubber

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

An economical yet effective solution is to replace only the rubber of the wiper blades. If the support arm is intact and only the rubber has deteriorated, you can replace just this part. Start by removing the side metal support strips, taking care not to bend the anchoring tabs. Then, remove the old rubber and insert the new one by sliding it through the designated grooves. Finally, insert the strips until they snap into their respective tabs and cut off any excess rubber at the end.

How to Change the H7 Headlight Bulb on an Audi A3

When replacing the front headlight bulbs, choosing the right bulbs is certainly the first hurdle to overcome: halogen, blue white light, xenon, or LED. Once you have made your choice, installing the new bulb can be done without removing the headlight. Simply open the front bonnet, locate the protective cap of the bulb holder, and press on the corresponding latch to remove it. Then grasp the bulb's power connector and pull it out along with the bulb itself, disconnect the connector, fit the new bulb, and press it into its seat until it clicks into place.
