My rear wiper blade went bad and the rubber is hanging off of it, is this a special blade or just a regular blade I can get from autozone? Any idea what size too?
its an 11" blade. I just ordered this https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-A282H-3397008634-Equipment-Replacement/dp/B0042ETBEQJust search/google and get it off amazon...or order from dealer. Shouldn't be astronomically expensive. I believe it is a 13"

and measured my old blade to confirm 11 vs 13. It is 11" if you buy a 13" it will not go it will hit the top.
I got my blade at advanced auto parts. Just gave them the vehicle and they told me the size and gave me the replacement.

I get the Bosch Icon 22OE, cut it in half and it works perfectly. I brought the old one into Walmart with me and after looking thru all the brands they had, these were the closest to 6mm wide. It was $17.97 which I know isn't the cheapest you can find them but I figure its not half bad considering I get two wiper blades for the price.
you can use small needle nose pliers to pull the caps off each end and a screwdriver to (gently) pry everything off piece by piece. Once you get the main piece off (the part that attaches to the cars wiper arm), everything pretty much falls apart and the blade falls out of it.
Its tough getting the new blade on once you get to the halfway point. If you straighten the arm out (the metal piece your sliding the blade into), its a little easier to slide it on. I would also suggest cutting the blade before you try sliding it on if you're taking the route I took.
The guys in advanced auto by me dont know shit. Gave me the wrong wipers for my girlfriends civic twice. Asked them about an exhaust clamps when I was doing my downpipe but they werent very knowledgable. I make sure I know part numbers and exactly what I need when I go to the chain stores.
Or ya know... could just buy an actual blade with no cutting or modification needed.....
