Changing rear wiper blade

[mjl2610]

Its raining here in the Chi so I really really need new wiper blades. So the front wiper blades are pretty straight forward to change. No problem there. But i have not bothered to look into how to change the rear one. I am sure it is about as easy as the front but i never looked into it. So here is my excuse for a technical thread. How is it done?? :confused:

You are correct, it is fairly straight forward. I replaced mine on my 06 and it was real quick. I don't remeber the exact process/how to other than I pulled the arm and blade away from the body and disconnected the balde and body from the arm. Sorry I can't be off more help.

For the rear you need the refill. The old one needs to be slid out and the new one slid and snapped back into the last claw.

^^^ thanks! good to know

That is not true; you do not need to buy just a refill. I bought the entire fram and blade (not to be confused with the wiper arm). It doesn't need to be a refill only. I bought mine from Checker's O'Reilly. Hope that helps.

Yeah i mean the only stores we have around here is autozone, advance auto parts, walmart and napa. The only things they sell is the steel frame and blade. I went to all four places except the dealer. So either it was that (which does not work or fit for that matter), the dealer or a refill. I had to work with what we have around here.

FYI, the model I just purchased was a Trico ExactFit model 14-C.

Looks identical to the factory blade.
