Hi, Bo,


go to a Bosch car service and buy (or order) the wiper gum only (Bosch is able to deliver that, keep your mind, don't care about all the "storys" the Bosch service staff is telling you - they are just too lazy to look inside the old parts catalogue.

The wiper gums are very cheap and may be ordered in all neccessay lengths You must measure the length or have a blade with you.
order one pair of gums for spare.

Dismout the wiper blades. the wiper gum is fixed at one end of the blade.
Use a fine plier to open the fix (bending), pull the blade out of the 4 holders.
remove the steel blades at both sides and insert them into the new wiper gum. (take care - there is a recess at the end to be fixed at the gum and the steel blades)
Push the ready mount gum back into the 4 holders and fix the new wiper gum by re-bending of the holder you have opened.

That's all.

Kindest regards

Wolfgang

Hallo Wolfgang,
Thanks for yopu advice. I will do just that.

A few weeks ago, Arno Seppanen visited Stockholm and we had a couple of nice hours together. The weather was just fine and we took a rather long tour in my 1600 GT and we also had time to look at m 327.
I assume Arno will publish some pictures later on.

Best regards to all GLAS and BMW fans
