    Right hand drive Windscreen wipers please. What can I use?

    Hi guys,
    having had a look, there seems to be an offset on the wiper blade.
    What replacements choice do I have in the UK please

    thanks

    The parts catalogue doesn't seem to differentiate between LHD and RHD configurations, but there is a note about 'co-driver's side only' for the left wiper blade.
    Assume that is co-driver's side for RHD models.

    This is a perennial problem on the RHD E31 and E32 as they have an 'upside-down' hook at the end of the wiper arm that nothing much fits on. As you have found, one of the wipers is interfered with by the wiper arm. I personally munch a lump out of the new wiper blade body, others chop off the hook and weld it back on the other way up!

    I've just bought new rubber blades as I found the options too hard.

    Timm, I'd be interested to see what this 'munch' you refer to looks like!

    sounds painful, perhaps I'll just do the rubber blades.

    I was under the impression that both LHD and RHD have the annoying "opposite of every other car" J-hook setup?
    What "thumbs up" really means
