Rear wiper blades

Went to my local auto store and looked through 2 catalogues on wiper blades and there is no rear wipe blades listed. The parts guy says to either go to the dealer or buy a regular long blade and cut it down.
What do you guys suggest?

Your other option is to order the blade itself from a dealer and have it shipped to you. They are only a few bucks. Fairly easy to replace in the arm you have. Same is true of the windshield blades.
