A few months back the wiper inserts for the MINI's were changed to be compatible with other models for cost factor. Well the MINI's now share the same front insert as the X3's So anyone that does not live local and wants to retain the stock blade, feel free to go to the local BMW dealership and request the part number 61 610 034 748 and ask for two. You open the small fingers on each end of the current blade, simply pull out the old insert, slide the new insert in and close the fingers. Then you find the small little marks in the metal slides, bend off the excess material then cut the rubber insert to the correct size.
