    I just replaced both sides front windshield wipers. i was thinking to replace the rear one with the old front passenger side which was not that much worn.
    thanks

    From the best of my memory, front wiper blades will not work on the back-- it uses an entirely different attachment design. I was hoping to use the new flexible blades on the rear wiper, but I've yet to find any in the correct size that will attach to the rear wiper arm. They only work for the front wipers. I still have to use the old multi-segment metal wiper blades for the rear wiper.

    If you manage to figure out how to attach a front wiper blade to the rear window wiper, let me know!
