None of my local auto parts stores stock the 11" blade including Advance Auto. I have always replaced them with a 12'". They go to the top edge of the glass.

If you are going to swap out the rear wiper might as well do it right and adjust the wiper to get almost a full sweep. Remove the spare, pry the cap over the nut that holds the wiper. Mark the original position the nut is on the bolt and remove the nut. Spin the wiper arm so the outer edge of the 12" blade is at the 3rd defroster wire and reinstall the nut. Check if the full sweep hits anything then reinstall the spare tire.

In the winter the defroster will melt the ice off of the blade and allow it to move. In the rain you get a better sweep!

Oh, I replaced mine with a 12" blade also!

You can get them all day long on Amazon.com for about $6.......I don't think mine has ever been on.

Yeah, that's why I go with the 10" mentioned previously - don't notice the 1/2" difference on each side. Its a cute little guy!!

I have never had to replace mine because it's worthless.
