Where can I find a rear wiper replacement?

I replace the factory front wipers on my 02 MC. No one had teh 12 inch mini wiper for the rear. Where can I find one? Could I order one? I really need a new one- it is doing the chatter thing. I wouldn't mind having a factory one still. I kinda wished I would have gotten factory ones fo rthe front. Oh well, I may still do that if someone know where I can get one. The nearest dealer is over 200 miles away.

April, You should be able to order them from one of the Dealers. I order from our dealer all the time, saves me the 200 mile round trip. Normally takes a day or 2 at the max, since they use FedEx. Our dealership gives club members a 10% price break and depending on who you talk to shipping can be free too.

Classic in OH, has been good to deal with, they give a 20% discount to NAM members, but charge for shipping.

Good luck!

P.S. Love your City, hope to be there one of these days!

i just replaced mine last week for a trip out to LA. go to your local autoparts place and buy one of the roberk allweather wiper blades. you can flex the old one out, cut the new one to length, and slide it back in the original arm. it takes quite alot of force, but works great and costs less than $5.00

In an pinch you can go buy a very cheap wiper of most any size. Pull out the rubber blade and cut to fit. I've done this with a replacement wiper from a dollar store and it worked just fine. It is still on my car a year later.

The replacement insert is only a few bucks from the dealer though. . .
