There is a post on here somewhere, that tells ya which wiper blade to buy. Then cut in half, & have a spare blade...

Finding that post is another matter..

Or you can just pick up a Trico Exact Fit 11A at Advance Auto Parts for $11.98, pops right on with minimal fuss and bother.

I've heard of one-armed paper hangers.

Before you lift the wiper arm, gently pull up on the end of the cover closest to where the wiper arm pivots, it 'rolls' right off.

Question removing cover rear wiper are

db/sb thank you for your reply. I spread the cover and it seemed as if it was going to come off but I just couldn't get it, I was afraid if I put any more force on it the cover it was going to break the tabs. When I pulled up it seemed as though it was stuck on the rounded end. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Chuck

Zombie Post!

Damn. THIS is why I come back to this forum once - or twice - a year.

44k miles on a 2007 HHR just had all kinds of fluids changed, alignment, new tires, about $1200 worth of stuff and that rear wiper HAD to be replaced.

Went to Amazon dot com, $11.19 delivered (I'm a prime member), should be here by the 30th.

Thanks one and all.
