REAR





The rear wiper blades on this vehicle are a bracketless or beam-type design. Each rear wiper blade is secured by an integral latching pivot block to a bracket formation on the tip of each wiper arm, and rests near the base of the rear door glass when the wipers are not in operation. The wiper blade consists of the following components:

- Element (4) - The wiper element or squeegee is the resilient rubber member of the wiper blade that contacts the glass.
- Flexor (1) - The flexor (also known as the beam) is a rigid, precisely curved spring steel component running along the length of the wiper element on each side. The wiper blade flexor has a satin black finish applied.
- Pivot Block (2) - The pivot block is a molded black plastic component secured near the center of each wiper blade that secures the blade to the bracket on the tip of each wiper arm and upon which the blade pivots. The pivot block includes two integral latch release tabs (3) that allow the wiper blade to be easily removed from the wiper arm.

This vehicle has equal length rear wiper blades with non-replaceable rubber elements (squeegees). These blades are 43.0 centimeters (17 inches) in length. The rear wiper blades cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective, worn, or damaged the entire wiper blade unit must be replaced.
