e30 wiper blades

[digger]

Bought a new set of genuine wiper blade assy 61611387678 from BMW. they are SWF brand but the stupid thing is they don't fit. it needs different little plastic clip /adapter things to clip into the arm hook. the ones on there clip onto a e36 but not an e30.

So where do you get the e30 clips from?

i have the ones off my old Bosch set but they have a different sized spindle so cant be used.

seems like BMW discontinued the original P/N and sell the same blades as e36 and a few other series but you need to change the plastic adapters which they don't supply.

I just buy Bosch wiper blades at Walmart, they work fine ...

I buy the rain•x from walmart... theyre like 1 dollar or two cheaper but look and work real nice!

i know i can use regular bosch but they dont contour to the windscreen as nicely as the SWF ones. anyway doesnt really answer my question

Be creative and make them yourself.

OP - I wish I saw this thread. I am having the same problem. The J-hook on the car is too narrow to accept the plastic insert from the blade. I'll probably buy BOSCH for the passenger side.
