Speaking of rear wiper, I find that it doesn't work well, it's like it doesn't press hard enough on the window.Anybody else notice the same thing, or have found some easy fix for it?

Mine is fine but it happen sometime that it does not catch the top part an all I do is press on the windshield washer an it seem to deice the blade as I use the Rain-X with de-icer.
I remember Canadian tire was selling a spring that you could attach to your front wiper arm to put more pressure on the arm so the blade stick more to the glass it might work for the rear might be worth having a look at it.

Yep...I've noticed that the rear windshield doesn't have much spring in it. Lift it up to clean it and the spring feels very weak. Looking for a solution as well, and I remember those springs you could buy for the front wipers. I might give those a try. Thanks for the reminder!!

Yea, but I'm just not sure I want to put that on myalmost new car! These are things you put on your car when it's old and tired, and you don't really care about how it looks anymore.

Many people dont realize that on a wiper blade, you can just change the rubber wiper and leave the actual blade alone. the rear is a mini blade style ( this refers to the size of the rubber insert in the blade, not the actual whole blade being small ) I was able to sucessfully replace the rubber using an Amcor blade. Puchase the biggest one they have, take out the rubber wiper and just cut to size. You can change the rubber many times off of one blade thus saving you a bunch of money.

I tried using wiper blades at advance auto and just took the rubber out and tried to put it into the rear wiper with no luck. It seems like they have a special size so you have to go ot the dealer and buy it. It cost less than 10 bucks and its easy to just put the rubber in wiht out replacing the whole wiper arm.

The "special Size" is Mini.
