Mine were changed under warranty. You don't get to keep the old ones.
Besides, they suck. Fall apart like cheap underwear.

ha , I asked why also and he said.....that he bought aftermarket blades and wanted to get them replaced and the service guys said that they weren't OEM and they wouldn't replaced them under warranty and he threw away his OEMs, so he is looking for OEMs to go back to service and have them replace them.....I hope I explained that okay.

That'll be "Original Equipment Manufacturer" (too early!!! for me) or something like that, so the parts are pure MINI factory or dealer fit and not from an aftermarket supplier as a copy.

Actually what I want to know is who manufactures the wipers for MINI. Then I could look for refills for those wipers.

Annoyingly, I want to know the answer as well - so i can get some more.
Every other brand has caused problems (judder, smearing, short life, etc)
