MK3 Rear Aero Wiper? Anyone got any pics?

[Guy]

i could only find the one thread where that picture came from and the ed38 search function sucks

i have fitted the wiper but before i start hacking the nut cover about I wondered if there were any tips

I take it the wiper are fits straight on, only thing I can suggest is to get a 1 series cover.

Item 9 is the washer jet so looks like it would clear the Golf one ok.

  - thats a really helpful diagram

thats what i thought... I went over to BMW today but they didn't have one in... and there are a few different types apparently...

i might have to 'borrow' one off a 1 series to see if it fits... although for 3 quid it hardly seems worth the quibble

i will pop over to another BM dealer tomorrow to see if they have one

it looks as though it will be a much better fit than a bastardised mk3 cover

If it helps the diagram is for a 2006 E87 pre face lift.

The part number was 61 62 7 138 509 but it says now replaced by 61 62 7 199 566

Hope this helps.

509 has indeed been replaced by 566 so have ordered one of them for the grand total of £1.66

i also changed the wiper blade from 11" to 13"... this was a bit of an arseache but it works really well... both blades have to be dismantled to get the fixing clips off and the 11" clip has to go on the 13" blade. I don't know if bmw do a 13" series one fit blade.. but I might have a gander when I go to pick up the nut cover on tuesday!

I have a feeling that the nut cover will need to be modified in some way as on the one series the jet rotates with the blade... one the mk3 it doesn't so the hole is at a completely different angle - we will see!

Keep us posted, look forward to pictures.
