Lightbulb Found A Rear Wiper Blade Replacement

I found an alternative to going to the dealer for the special rear wiper blade on the yaris . Its a "Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blade" that snaps right onto the special rear arm and looks just the factory original - wipers123 online had them. They come with easy directions to pop the old one off and the new one on. For a while i thought you had to replace the whole arm until I took a closer look - basically they swap-out easy (like the front wipers). No need to get abused at the dealership...
