How to change the rear wiper on a 2003 Pontiac Vibe

Replace the blade and the blade holder. These days everything but the arm gets changed....and gone are the days of just replacing the rubber...

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
(see Figures 1 and 2)

To remove the arm from the pivot, lift the arm to permit the latch to be pulled out to the holding position and remove the arm from the pivot with a rocking motion.

Fig. 1: Mount the wiper blade/arm as shown-Dakota models

Fig. 2: Mount the wiper blade/arm as shown-1994-96 Pick-ups

When installing the arms, the at-rest position of the blades should be determined before pushing the arm onto the pivot. For Dakota trucks, the tip of the driver's side blade should be 0.51-2.63 in. (13-67mm) above the cowl panel and the passenger's side blade should be 0.94-3.06 in. (24-78mm) above the cowl panel. For 1989-93 Pick-ups and Ramchargers, the driver's side blade should be 1.84 in. (47mm) above the windshield weatherstripping at the heel of the blade; the passenger's side blade should be 2.24 in. (57mm) above the weatherstripping. For 1994-96 Pick-ups, the wiper motor must be in the PARK position and the wiper blade should be about 0.85 in. (22mm) from the upper edge of the black-out areas at the base of the windshield.


Hope this helps to solve it.

I would try Walmart or Autozone or Oreillys. If I remember correctly I had a 1988 Taurus and there was a change in the mounting pin size on the tip of the wiper mount. Some of the replacement wiper blades had adapters included with the wiper blade.

It may be necessary to buy the wiper arm that fits into the drive posts at the base of the windshield. The spring tension would be restored and you could eliminate the current mounting problem.

The trick is to get the wiper to stop somewherein the wiper arc.

I took it to a mechanis, who is a friend of mine. Toyota made that rear windshield wiper custom. So he took off the stopper and the screw in lock and I bought a 13" blade and we put the attachment on that came wih the wiper and slid it on to the arm.

may have to replace the entire arm assembly as the tensioner spring in the wiper itself is worn

Are trying to remove the blade or the arms?

The arms are released by holding the wiper blade fully extended away from the winshield and wiggle the arms off.

The blades are removed by a little tab where the blade hooks to the arm,using a small screwdriver push down on tab,and slide blade off arm but do not let arm slap windshield as it could crack it,I have seen people pull and the blades suddenly come off and the arm slaps down,yor can put a towel or cloth down where the arm sits against the windshield to prevent the possibilty of the arm slapping down.
