DonH2000 Member Since: 12 Jan 2015 Location: North Kent Posts: 551	Changing rear wiper blade on a 90 Just wondering if I am missing something but is it possible to change the rear wiper blade on a 90 without removing the spare wheel? I can undo the blade clip but can not slide the blade past the wiper arm as the tyre (265/75 16) is in the way and I do not want to bend/damage the arm. Cheers Don.

I did think maybe the whole arm could be removed with out removing the wheel but I did not pursue it. 2016 Defender Landmark 90 2005 Defender CSW TD5 90XS
