Replacement - wiper blades, outback


I got this to replace my 2007 Nissan Murano rear wiper blade after checking a few places around town. Everywhere store I looked at said they were going to have to order this part in. I checked amazon and found a great price and couldn't believe this - But I got it the very next day!!! (I paid for regular ground shipping) Installation was a little tricky (there were no instructions with the new blade), but a little research helped me out:



Replace the rear wiper:



1. Remove the black plastic piece that covers the wiper arm bolt. This plastic piece is right at the right angle where the wiper arm meets the motor shaft. This can be popped off just using your hand.



2. Once the plastic piece is removed, you can see a single #9 bolt that is holding the wiper arm onto the shaft. Remove it.



3. The arm will be FIRMLY in place. Once the bolt is removed the wiper arm will most likely still be stuck. You will need to firmly jiggle the arm for it to pop off. Please be careful not to apply too much force because the arm will break.



4. Once the arm has been removed you can turn the wiper to a 90 degree angle to the arm and it will pop off.



5. Replace the wiper blade with a new one. Note even though a 14" replacement looks larger it will still fit on the window. The new one will pop into place.



6. Replace the wiper arm onto the shaft and reinstall the bolt. Don't torque it down too much yet.



7. Once the arm is back on and the bolt is snug, go turn the wiper on and make sure that it is vertically in the right position. It should end up even on the window on both sides of the motion arc. If it is not, unscrew the bolt and move it a little.



8. Once it is in the right place, tighten the bolt down firmly, replace the black plastic piece, and you are good to go.



Good as new and soo much cheaper than having a dealer do it for you. Trico 14-B Exact Fit Rear Wiper Blade - 14"

This is the only rear wiper replacement I have found that will fit my Subaru Outback without going to the dealership. Otherwise, the only way to replace the wiper was to pull out the rubber strip and replace it with a new one. This conveniently replaces the entire part with no issues. I am sure the same goes for other makes and models as well.

Thank the good Lord for the internet! This blade was recommended and DOES fit the 2008 Suzuki SX4 Rear Wiper!!!!! And its bigger than the little OEM toy wiper that comes stock on the vehicle! Double kudos!

the exact replacement rear wiper i needed for my 2007 CR-V. fast delivery, fast and easy installation. i was pleasantly surprised that the entire process took me, literally, 10 seconds--that includes reading the instructions and removing the old wiper! just so happens it's raining today and the new wiper worked perfectly. all in all, an A+, from purchase to usage.

I'd been driving without the rubber part of my rear wiper blade for almost a year because finding the right match for my 2008 Honda Fit was next to impossible. This one is an exact match- I compared them side by side before installation. Getting the old one off without breaking the wiper arm was a pain... but installation of the new one is simple.

This wiper blade does fit the 2009 Honda Odyssey, the only problem is the blade is 2 inch shorter than the original blade in fact the original must be the Trico Exact fit blade because it looks like an exact copy only shorter.

Unfortunately this wiper did NOT work as an exact fit for my 2008 Honda Odyssey rear wiper. This wiper would not fit on the Odyssey's wiper arm... out of desperation I had to take the rubber blade out of the Trico assembly and fit it into the Honda OEM arm. - Wiper Blade - Outback - Wiper Blades - Honda Fit'
