2006 rear wiper R 50
I have searched for a replacement rear wiper blade only and I only found one at the dealer.
Does anyone know of any other place might have these ?
Our local O'reilley, pep boys , autozone do not.....
Appreciate all your responses

Pfffff all the cool kids are deleting the rear wiper anyhow....
I just popped the motor and arm off, got a plastic pipe plug and siliconed it into the hole.
The spring was shot in my wiper arm and it rattled like crazy against the window. The plug was less than a dollar and I had the silicone. Might get a new arm and reinstall one day. It sure gets dirty back there. My washer fluid wouldn't spray either so I'm not sure whats up with that.

They did. The 2004 and 2005 rear blades are different. I actually broke mine this winter from snow and ice. I had a 2005 arm because it broke and it wouldn't match up to the 2004 and had to get a 2004 arm. Pull out the metal strips in the old blade insert and use a new front blade insert and cut to length - just like they used to sell at the dealership for $3 each.

I was thinking of just getting a generic blade to replace....... just the blade.
I have style A according to WMW. Which has 4 areas to " clip in" the blade.
Style B has 3...which is much easier to replace.
I'll let you know how it goes ...though not a high priority
Thank you again for all the great advice/ ideas !!!

If you look at the wiper .... it is EASY to slide out the rubber blade portion
just carry the old blade - just the rubber part - into the auto part store and find an insert that looks the same - no matter the length.
Then cut it down and slide it in. I replaced mine often .... I could replace this way 5 times for the price of one factory fix!

problem SOLVED !!!
Pepboys .....nothing
Advanced Auto Parts....nothing
BUT....Oreilliys DOES HAVE INSERTS !!!!
Its Trico 44-170. They come as a 2 blade set for $7.99
Slid into the 3 wiper blade holder sleeves...cut to length.....then put the blade into the 4th sleeve.
I did this with the wiper OFF the car. Just snaps on and off !!
Thanks for ALL the help !!!!!
