How does one remove rear wiper arm from pivot and replace the 13" blade? Any suggestions for which blade will fit? I usually go for PIAAs.
Thanks!

When removing are you pulling it to the left or right or up or down?It’s easier than I first thought, particularly after browsing this topic. Lifting up the cover behind the pivot point is the key. You can then lift the entire assembly. The blade is held on by a 1/2” U-shaped claw. By holding the wiper arm with right hand and a solid jerk with the left, the blade will release. Putting new one on is easier done.
I bought one on Amazon but it was 12-incher and I wasn’t up to speed on the above process so I returned it. Found a 13” one on eBay with a better description for $8+ shipped free. (It also fit some Hyundai-models!!)

Good to know there’s another option other than the Hyundai blade. Thanks for sharing.2018 Stelvio the Bosch A310H fit perfect and is available at O’Reilly auto parts. Pic below shows the wiper arm and angle of hook that holds the blade in, and original blade compared to Bosch. It took a little leverage to pop the blade off the wiper arm. Second pic is the Bosch blade installed. View attachment 34302

Thank you so much. The closest Alfa Romeo dealer to me in Illinois was 135 miles away. But we had a Genesis/Hyundai/Kia dealer in town. Have replaced the rear wiper on my 2018 Stelvio twice using the parts from that dealer. It is from the same supplier Stelantis buys from. You don’t need to use any tools and the replacement takes about 30 seconds.
Ditto, I drove to the auto parts store stupidly believing replacing the rear window wiper would be an easy fix. Opened the manual NOTHING REGARDING rear windshield wiper replacement to be found. Walked in & spoke with the clerk & of course they had nothing that would fit & it would take a week to order & replace. Another snow storm on the way & the last ice storm ripped the rubber off the old one. Dang automotive engineers have forgotten K.I.S.S.!!!That worked for me, too on my 2018. Thanks! (wonder why this isn't in the manual)
