Rear Wiper Replacement

[PSUEric]

Purchased replacement wiper blades for my 2024 Cross Turismo.

• Got the fronts from Windy Wipers 26” driver and 20” passenger
• Got the rears from Suncoast P/N SKU9J0RWB

The fronts were easy, less than 5 minutes. However the rear blade even after looking at the owners manual is a challenge.



Definitely concerned too much force will break arm resulting in a thousand dollar repair. Anybody have any hints on how to remove the old blade?

It is as simple as pulling the blade down in the direction of the arrow while holding the arm stationary. The clips in the arm are open on the bottom to let the blade pop out.

Yes. But also: put a towel under the wiper first. You are guaranteed, one day, to let the arm slip and scratch the windscreen.

Thank you, a little more force and worked like a champ…

Used the towel also, thank you!

Hi All, unfortunately, I had some issues with the rear wipe for my ST. The cover for the mechanism isn't fitting in properly. I tried to push it in from one end, then lift the wiper assembly 15 degree and slot the other side, but it still looks like the length is short. Can anyone advise?
