Passanger Windshield Wiper
Has anyone had problems with their passenger side windshield wiper. It doesn't wipe the windshield very well. I've tried Googling it and it seems like I'm not the only one having this issue?
I've tried swapping the blades to see if it makes a difference and it didn't. At the time I only had a few thousand miles on the car. |

It's not the spraying for me it's more the wiper not picking up the water entirely. Not pushing hard enough to the windshield. Some people have tried bending the the arm but not resolved it either.
Taking it for an oil change tomorrow. Will ask the technician but I think I know their answer... replace the blade. |

I have this same problem. It is the part of the windshield that is on the very outside of the passenger side wiper blade. Swapping rubber blades didn't solve the problem. I'll try switching the entire arm assembly to Bosch

Does anyone have the rear wiper fitment for Bosch? Only ones i’m Finding are direct OE replacements which I’m worried are just as bad as the OE fronts

Trico onyx here. best so far. Not every blade will work the same on different cars. Bosch didn't fair so well for me on the x6m. Recently tried rain x quantum and also are working very well.

I've had the same problem. Dealer swapped out both blades at the last service visit but no change. Driver's side is fine. Since I have one month left on my lease I'm just going to live with it.

Went out to Autozone and got the Bosch Envision EN20 / EN24. They were AWFUL. They were noticeably worse and left water streaks all over my field of vision. It was actually really bad. Went back to OEM - at least at can see where I'm going now. Will try Rain-X or Michelin. |

it may seem like passenger arm needs to be tighten, put more pressure on the windshield.
clean the windshield with glass cleaner, helps wipers push water away... wipe down wiper blades with Isopropyl Alcohol even if they are new ones. i did this on my new X3, i got caught with heavy rain one morning on my way to work. The wipers were noisy. |
