mach-e rear wiper

[Don_23805]

Most search results center on a broken wiper. I managed to pop off the small cover on the pivot by pulling outward. Since the wiper arm doesn't lift up, how do you get at the blade to repplace it? And, on mine, the end of the blade doesn't conform to the glass, making it less thanuseful. Does the "long trim" come off? Glad I saw the pic of the nut on the threaded shaft so I didn't ust try pulling up!
TIA

Pull the wiper blade firmly to the right side of the car. you will hear a click. Then lift the arm off slightly to drop the blade.

have cardboard ready to protect the rear window.

looking at a new replacement blade makes this obvious. The blade from the Ford edge should come from the MachE factory.

Do you have a link to the longer replacement blade?

Just look for Bosch A400H or A401H, in the end both are same wipers

This is the part# for the Ford Edge blade. Same connector

Got the 15" Trico from Amazon today. Pretty easy!
Do both front & rear washers come off the tank in the frunk? Page 104 in the user manual shows a filler that appears to be in a door post. Don't find that. Probably just another instance of Ford apparently adapting a manual from some other model. e.g., parts of The Manual talk about towing a trailer and later it specifically says Don't.

Yes, one reservoir for both washers.

After 2 years, I am finally replacing my rear wiper! I used the Bosch A401H. The old one comes off by pulling to the right to break it free, the Bosch just pops straight on. Need to remember that when replacing it again in two years.
