Hi:

Does anyone know what's up with the rear wiper? It doesn't look like the blade is replaceable. It seems to be a permanent part of the car.

My rear wiper blade is worn, and I don't see any instructions in the manual for replacing it.

I've been to several auto stores, but their wiper books don't even LIST a rear wiper for the Outlander, just driver and passenger.

Has anyone replaced the blade and/or refill on the rear wiper?

Thanks.

The wiper blade just slides out. You will need to lift the blade over the lip that is about 1/4 " on either side to hold it in place. I have not had to replace mine yet, but the retail stores can be very slow with getting products in for the newer cars. I would try calling a couple different parts stores. If that doesn't pan out, you may have to break down and go to the dealer and have them get it for you. :thumbsup:

You can usually buy a generic blade and cut it down to size. Just take your old blade into the store with you to make sure that the replacement will have a similar fit. I had the same porblem on an old Capri - my 'custom' blade worked better than the original.

Hi:

Do you mean that the BLADE (whole plastic assembly), or the REFILL (rubber), slides out?

The blade seems to be permanently attached, from what I can see.

Thanks.

To clarify, what I call the 'blade' is the rubber part you can remove. The rest of the assembly would be the 'wiper' itself. But I suppose that's all semantics :)

So, I guess the "blade" (plastic assembly) is permanent, unlike the front wipers, and I just need to replace the "refill" rubber.

Thanks.
