There's one big problem with these Bosch aero twin wipers

[Bazza]

WHAAAAAT? My aero-twin wipers were also swiped in town! WTF?!?!?!?

e46 330i tips are not welded, they have a sping clip and a slot they go into on the exhaust box tips, they can be removed but not easily.

The ones I bought for my 325i are like that with the springs.

The ones on my brother's 330i are definitively spot welded at the back.

Before or after he changed the exhaust? :thinking:

Adi, you can definitely just replace the rubbers on the factory wiper blades. Its a PIA to do it though.

Ag no! That's annoying! Rather these than other more expensive bits of your car though. And let me guess, car guards saw nothing... :bangdesk:

Ya and it Cost R560 from a dealer or R480 from diesel electric as opposed to the R180 Aero Twins

So just unclip the Aero Twins every time you park in the City and put them in the boot. :thinking:
They will think that they have already been stolen.

Well, what if it's raining when you come back after they've been stolen, then you have nothing. At least he'll have a set in the boot, if he unclips them.

Or just don't go into the city. :fencelook:

Really? :biglol:

Of course I mean on the stock exhaust.

Park the car in a lock-up garage.:fencelook:

That doesn't solve the problem of when I go anywhere at night.

They stole my chrome zorst tips but never blades :fencelook:

Crap now I have to worry about those too

They are welded on AFAIK so should not be a issue. The E90's just slip over.

Do you have a pic of your car with the Aero's? I heard they look weird on the car..

I was talking about my E46's tips... They were stolen one at a time, few weeks apart :flyfun:
As soon as I got my E90 I had them welded in place :tease:
