WTF is that thing. It has like 5 plastic flanges. We're resoring my friend's 1990 DX and there's no wiper on the back. What size blade, WTF is that connection is that even.

Oh, i should probably clarify more. There is an ARM but no blade. The arm doesn't have a J-hook, it has like 5 little plastic knobs meant to hold some specialty wiper or something.

lol that the wiper, but with no blade i bet, go to the auto parts store, tell them you need a new wiper for the rear DX, get the whole new wiper not just the rubber refill.

No no... i have checked and everything says 4g hatch rear window is 16', just plain ol'. This is a plastic connection that is NOT ON A J HOOK. Like... the metal wiper arm turns into this weird knobby connection with like 2 snaps.

My rear wiper sucks anyway. It dosen't make contact with the window all the way up. What a waste.

I'll go look at mine. I think you just have to use one of the different kinds of connections that come with a new pack of wipers. You just shove it onto the bar thing. Sorry to be so technical. My rear wiper always seems like it's going to go flying off but it's never come off, so I guess whatever connection I used stayed put. I'm using RainX wipers now and it came with everything I needed. I just want to know why my rear window spray thingy doesn't spray, it dribbles, sometimes. Anyway, I'm at my mom's house, destressing after quitting my job, and can only do dialup internet, so give me some time to get back to you, but I think that's how my rear wiper is too.

one of 3 things:
1. you drive an std hatch. -no wiper
2. someone changed that hatch to an std hatch - no wiper
3. someone before you shaved it. -no wiper.

Do you ahve a reflective thing in between your tail lights? if its black its std. i think that should explain it.
