fishx65 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) The rear wiper on my 11 was shot so I ran up and grabbed a RainX R14D. It fit but didn't sit flush with the rest of the wiper arm like the factory blade did. The factory blade has a raised curve on it to make everything look flush. I had a few old blades laying around so I decided to try and just change out the rubber on the factory blade. I cut the rubber to the proper length, inserted the original metal strips and slid it into the factory blade. Worked perfect!!!! I just need to go find a new blade with the proper width rubber to replace the used rubber I just installed. Moral of the story, Don't throw out your original factory blade!!!!! Just to add to this post, the Trico View and the Trico Exact Fit have the right size rubber. I just purchased a 26 incher for $5.00 and cut the rubber to the proper length.
