Yep the valeo silencio VF371 is what I purchase last year and they fitted perfectly. Just a little more flex in them like the blade is a little deeper of something so when thy get fully upright on the drivers side they drag a little bit of the water back about half an inch but apart from that they are a direct replacement and work well.

According to the Bosch site this is the wiper blade set for G21 (assume same for G20s):

If you do an Amazon search for bmw g20 wipers you get a list of several. All of which, according to the photos, have a different fitting in the middle!

You can buy OEM replacements from getbmwparts, bmwpartspros, or Amazon for about $40-$45. Unless you need wipers immediately, buy a couple of wiper sets and swap them out when needed - then you won't have to dink around trying to make something else work.
The Icons do not fit well - they do not snap/lock in like the OE blades. |

Managed to order the rear blade from the above site. At least A280H is the part number I can look for in future. No joy on the front set yet. |

Try the below from Opie Oils , the Bosch one I mentioned in my previous post was for the rear. Having checked the invoice the front ones are actually Denso , they are an excellent fit and perform well. DENSO Flat Windscreen Wiper Blade - DF-240 -475/600mm - Pack of 2 |

I also had to return a set of Bosch blades because they wouldn't snap into position. Clips are not quite manufactured correctly.
Valeo ones fit perfectly |

Sorry whilst looking at this thread, has anyone found out if that plastic part in the rear wiper arm can be easily removed that restricts it being lifted up to clean the screen or replace the wiper?? Ta

Thanks......I did see that thread, but couldn't believe this plastic pin/movement restriction should be there. Didn't want to force anything and cause damage on what should be a really simple thing......

I believe it is meant to be there for the purpose of shipping to the UK and the dealer is supposed to remove it before the car is presented to the first owner, but... You will find the folks on here know more than the main dealers do in many respects.
