Rear wiper replacement?

Hello again. I turned on my rear wiper for the first time ever and unfortunately it when flying off. The sound was so violent I couldn't believe it. It sounded like glass broke.

Anyways, I was wondering if there appears to be enough of the rear wiper to replace it with another one. Also, is OEM my only option?

FWIW, I don't want to do the rear wiper delete. That just isn't something that I'd care to do.

Thanks!

I just got mine from o'reilys. Only had one option and was like $18. Looks like you would just need the blade.

I bought this one, it is very nice quality. One thing to keep in mind is the little rubber grommet, you have to purchase it separately if yours is bad and it cost as much as the whole arm, more with shipping. It is ridiculous!!! It is the dumbest design ever.
