Rear wiper broke

Amazon says this will not fit my 2010. Are you pretty sure it does?

Will definitely fit.

Just upgraded using the info from this thread on my 16 EL limited. Bought off Amazon and took 5 mins to replace and it made a huge difference. Much better arm and wiper. Thanks for the info.

Hey guys,
My factory arm is sagging down off the glass. I wasn't able to get it off to replace or realign. Was afraid to break the glass. If it is wedged on should I try a gear puller or something?
Thanks,
CV

Spray the shaft with some WD-40 let it sit for a little bit.
Take a painters tool, A putty knife is too thin and flexible, slide between the arm base and the plastic area around the shaft area and wiggle it.
The arm will pop off and be pretty loud.

I tried a putty knife but it flexed too much to get it to pop.

I used an Interior Clip remover like Dennis above.

this thing?
I'll give it a go with the painter's tool first, which I have.

The set I use has more bend to it. I used to do Auto Glass in a past life, so I am used to this.

Something like the above actually comes in pretty handy.

I've got a broken handle under that stupid arm, maybe I'll mess around with doing this while I have the thing off. That's good info to have!

2 days of PB Blaster and popped off with a mini pry bar. Thanks boys. Will prolly replace the whole arm as described here when the blade wears out

2014EL
Ordered the AUTOBOO arm & blade for $16.66 (no tax or shipping) from the Evil Amazon
Needed arm because the "nut cover" had vanished & where the blade clips in … was broken

Just got it (order Saturday), took old one off with battery terminal puller & 1/2" wrench
Put new one on with a dab of blue Loctite … tightened it until I felt it was really tight
New "nut cover" snapped right on. Quality is great!
