Wiper Arm Cover/Cap

Does anybody know where I can find these covers that accommodate non-BMW wiper blades? When I got my car, I had one on the driver side like the one pictured below and the passenger had the factory cut one for BMW wipers. I haven’t been able to find where this cap came from but I’d like to buy a couple if anyone knows. Thanks!

Could also look at FCP, but they would probably need to sell you both wiper arms

The cap pictured is not a genuine BMW part I'm assuming, not available on any dealer sites or aftermarket sites or even Amazon. Seems to be a unique part since it has the square cutout.

I carefully trimmed the wiper caps on my E70 and E90 with a utility knife and then used the edge of the knife and a file to smooth out where I cut.

It really only took 5 minutes or less per side. This includes trimming a little bit at a time, test fitting, and repeating. I don't have a picture handy right now but I don't believe anyone can tell that the part was modified.

It would help if you included the year/model of your car since the wipers varied over time.

It’s a 2007 BMW 335i Coupe, but again, these aren’t factory so they didn’t come on the vehicle, but there you go

Thanks. These don't have a place on my 2011 wipers, OEM or not, so I was trying to get a sense of what you needed.

But at $4 for the covers and lifetime free wiper blades and covers from FCP, I would say say go with the combo that's made for your car. It will be cheaper after you've replaced them 1 time.

BTW, where are you located in SC?
