I found one and a place that actually stocks them: wipers123

 

My rear wiper needs replaced - are you saying they are hard to find in parts stores? I haven't looked...

 

my 5 month old wiper,used maybe 20 wipes! is streaking. i looked and find the thin center strip,,,gone!! obviously the oem is not a useful product. cant figger how to remove??

 

So lets see, you registered today, and this is your first post. Good job trying to use the forum to advertise your site I guess.

I'll tell you where you can find rear replacement blades, anywhere that sells 12 inch wipers.

 

Thank you for the cynical welcome!! I've got warm and fuzzies now. Anyway, the original is 11" which i could not find. I found a 10" which was specified for the rear. Living in wisconsin, I never go larger because with the ice and snow there's already enough stress on the blade, arm and motor...don't want to add an extra 2" and cause more stress. Does a 12" even fit without going off the glass?

 

Oops...I should have multi-quoted (sorry for two posts in a row). The best way is to try to stop it in the 12-O'Clock position. Its still tight and you have to be careful, but you can get it on.

 

Well, apologies as it seems you're a real user. We get alot of people registering and making one post to spam or advertise a product or site.

I remember when looking for information about a high output alternator I found a thread by a user with one post, talking about how good the alternators from site XYZ were, and his user name lined up with the name of the website!

Anyways, welcome to HF!

 

Auto Zone and Advanced Auto both usually have them in stock, drive in and they will put it on for you if you can't figure it out.

 

I still haven't found a beam style 11" wiper for the rear yet. Does any such animal exist yet?

 

back again. mine measures almost 12,close enuf, and it seems to have the same release tab,as the front,but hard to get at because it dont swing out. ill get it manyana
