Anyone know how to fix back windsheild wiper on '01 X5?

Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My back windsheild wiper blade does not sit tight against the window and does not
clean where I need to see thru.
This is a recurring problem. Maybe going thru car wash? It was fixed a few months
back and now it won't clean window again. Frustrating.

most likely the wiper arm is bent so the wiper blade doesn't sit flat on the glass. I had this problem with my car. They replaced the wiper arm and all was fixed
They are adjustable my BMW guy did mine perfect
Thanks! By the way, do you mean wiper blade as in what is replacable at a car part place or the metal arm blade part?
ok, so I should buy a replacement arm, maybe used on line or should I get new? I really appreciate everyone taking time to help me out. LOVE the car. When you drive something as nice as a BMW, you want everything perfect!
BMW recycling centers are your best bet. Bavarian Auto Recycling in CA is a great place to start. Your local LKQ salvage yard should be next. Happy hunting.
Why am i having misfire notices as being detected in my 06 X5 3.0i E53 M54B30 engine at cylinders 3 5 & 6 when i just had newer engine installed with 63 k miles on it with brand new coil packs. I have the straight 6 type motor, when issue popped up at cylinder 4 i bought new plug installed it and it still said misfire detected at cylinder 4 ???? So that's a new spark plug as well coil pack. I ordered 8 total only needed to use 6 coil packs. Any light shed upon this mysterious issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
