Help Please

Hi all

I am enquiring about the replacement of the rear wiper blade on a 4.3 xt5. Does the whole arm have to be replaced or just the rubber. Can anybody advise on what is required with instructions and approx prices please.

Cheers

See Where To Buy A Replacement Rear Wiper Blade?

You could buy a new arm and blade, but with a wee bit of care, the blade itself should be replaceable.

Edit: to remove the rear arm and blade, just rotate the arm 90 degrees and pull it out from its holder - it's just clipped in.

Edit #2: And if you are just replacing the blades, keep the metal bits which run the length of them.
