About this video

Replacing the rear windshield wiper on a 2011-2017 BMW X3 F25 is a straightforward process. Here’s a general guide on how to do it:

Tools/Items Needed:

Replacement rear windshield wiper blade
Flathead screwdriver (optional)
Instructions:

Purchase the Correct Wiper Blade:
Ensure you have the correct replacement rear windshield wiper blade for your BMW X3 F25. You can refer to your vehicle’s manual or consult with an auto parts store to find the appropriate size and style.
Lift the Wiper Arm:
Lift the rear wiper arm away from the rear windshield. Be gentle to avoid damaging the wiper arm or the windshield.
Release the Old Wiper Blade:
Most wiper blades have a small tab or lever that you can press or lift to release the blade from the wiper arm. Locate this mechanism on the underside of the wiper blade assembly.
Remove the Old Wiper Blade:
Once you’ve released the locking mechanism, slide the old wiper blade out from the wiper arm. Dispose of the old blade properly.
Install the New Wiper Blade:
Take the new rear windshield wiper blade and slide it into the wiper arm until it clicks or locks into place. Ensure it is securely attached to the arm.
Lower the Wiper Arm:
Gently lower the rear wiper arm back onto the rear windshield. Make sure the wiper blade is properly aligned and seated on the windshield.
Test the Wiper Blade:
Turn on the rear windshield wiper to test the new blade. Ensure it moves smoothly across the windshield and effectively clears away water or debris.
Adjust if Necessary:
If the wiper blade does not make full contact with the windshield or if it skips or streaks, you may need to adjust the position of the blade on the wiper arm. Most blades allow for some adjustment to achieve optimal performance.
Replacing the rear windshield wiper blade on your BMW X3 F25 is a simple maintenance task that helps ensure clear visibility out of the rear window during inclement weather.
