2005 HSE Headlamp Wipers out of Production!

ctpearl · Feb 1, 2022

Hello! I can't seem to find wipers for my headlamps. The part number is DKC000070. They have been discontinued. I called Atlantic British and they said that BMW wipers might work. Does anyone know an alternative wiper I can use? It seems 2003-2005 Rovers are the worst possible years in terms of finding parts lol. Thanks!

Can you not use a universal refill if you cant get any.

Thanks so much for the reply. You know, I didn't even know that was an option until I saw an add for "refills" on amazon. That's probably the best option.

I've cut a full size wiper into smaller sections to fit in the past.

Used refills for years on various of our cars.
Check that the part of the refill that clips into the arm is the same profile as the old one.
Be careful removing the old as you may need to reuse the metal strips with the refill.
