Original BMW Rear Window Wiper Axle Cover for BMW 525i, 528i, 540i, and X5 (1999–2006)

The Original BMW wiper axle cover 61-62-7-113-603 is the small cap that closes off the rear window wiper arm pivot on the E39 5 Series and E53 X5. A wiper axle cover fits over the end of the wiper spindle where the arm is fastened. It keeps rain, road grime, and car-wash spray away from the nut and threads underneath. BMW names this piece the wiper axle cover and gives its weight as 1 g (0.04 oz). It works as a trim and weather cover and carries no load. It is sold individually, one cover per piece, and production of this number began in May 2002.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This number supersedes the earlier cover 61-62-8-222-463. BMW rates the change as exchangeable retrospectively, which means the newer cover is approved for cars built with the earlier part. If your car left the factory before May 2002, 61-62-7-113-603 is approved by BMW as a replacement for the earlier cover. The same cover is shared between the E39 and E53 chassis, so one part number serves both 5 Series and X5 applications.
