      I bought this:


      What I got was pretty decent. I would have tried OEM inserts if my OEM blades weren’t long gone. The FL sun bakes them into pieces, so I’m used to replacing them once a year.

      Edit: Also if I remember right the rear window blade has to be a certain design to work with the wiper retainer/holder when it’s turned off. Someone else can chime in on that and probably have a better idea than I.

      Correct, the rear is proprietary. The docking wedge is riveted to the arm. Sold on Amazon as well.

      You mean the sun bakes the inserts ... the metal arm assemblies last forever, although the black paint will eventually begin to fade.

      On my '14, the original inserts were just as soft, compliant, and free from any cracking as the new inserts I installed. I don't know why they didn't wipe quite as effectively as they did when they were new.
