Default Rear wiper for SUV

Hey guys, what rear wiper are you guys getting that fits? I've bought one from Amazon that said it should fit (11in) and it hits the red roof light at the top of the swing. Also i just checked the one autozone recommended at the store and same thing! 😤

I went through this whole same situation with my front and rear wipers. None of the big box auto parts stores had anything that worked. MixMan on this forum told me about:
PIAA 95030 Super Silicone Wiper Blade - 12" 300mm
I ordered mine off Amazon
You will never go back! These work perfectly on the flat windshields and don't drag, rub, or squeal
For the front I am using:
PIAA 95040 Super Silicone Wiper Blade - 16" 400mm

So I'm just a little hesitant because you're recommending 12in for the rear when everywhere it says I need 11in. You use this on you H2 SUV and it doesn't hit the lights?

An 11in wiper is hitting your lights????? It sounds like your wiper arm is bent or something. Any pictures? Mine is 12", I measured it, and it doesn't come close to the light. The wiper arm is gm part #88944328

Looking at the arm for the part number and the one on the photo above and it looks like mine has been switched out. I just keep finding stuff on this truck lol.

Yeah that is the wrong arm for sure......

The spring in the rear arms do get weaker over time and can cause the wiper to not always make full contact with the window. Either that or prior owner broke it and just replaced it with whatever.

That looks like something a slime ball at a dealership would do. You can get the proper wiper arm off eBay or Amazon for $40.
