Default Rear Wiper Blade for Hummer H3

Anyone have any suggestions for a good durable rear wiper blade for H3?

I looked at RainX but they advised that they do not have a blade to fit the H3.

Thanks!

I installed an Anco Aerovantage Blade (part # 91-12)... Works great, no problems so far, and cheap (Around $5-Bucks oop$ )

IIRC, the H3 uses a 12" blade but a 13" blade fits and as a bonus also wipes more surface area. Another thing to do when back there would be to re-clock the arm a spline or two to allow it to sweep farther over instead of stopping almost straight up.

I also used a 13 inch. There is a larger selection of those and they go all the way to edge of the window at the top.

Depending on you, your tools and your spare size- remove spare from rear door.
Lift up hinged cover at the central pivot point for the wiper and access the nut.
Loosen or remove nut.
Lift wiper arm off splined shaft and rotate counter-clockwise one or two splines as desired.

Your swept area will stay the same, but the area cleared will now be more centered in the rear window. On mine, the wiper parks at about 2 o'clock vs. pointing nearly horizontal stock.
