Rear Wiper

[kamorela]

I got the Bosch R1521 from O’Reilly Auto Parts and it’s great. I had to ask at the counter as it was in the back and not out in the main wiper display.

I found the Bosch A401H 16" (400mm) blade at a local O'Reilly's. It comes almost to the edge of the rear glass:

I also have a rear dash cam and, like you, I want maximum wiper height. So I'm looking for that Bosch A401H that several of you have said you've installed. Well I can't find it anywhere, it seems to have either been discontinued or 'This item is unavailable'. It's like the wiper version of Bigfoot, I'm beginning to think it's a myth. Are there any other 16" wiper blades that will fit the Mach e?

Wowiper Rear Wiper Blade 16 inch (16-E), CLICK AND GO is a Bosch A401H clone.

I just found the Bosch A401H blade today at a local O'Reilly's and it fits nicely, with not much room left to the edge of the glass. But I also saw and ordered a 410mm (16.14 inch) Pennzoil blade that I ran across on Amazon. We'll see how it fits, I think I have enough glass for that extra 0.14 inch. I'm positive that extra tenth of an inch will make all the difference when placing my rear dash camera.

Haha! How do you get the darn thing off? I pried too hard and did this!!

I got the trico 15G but it feels like there isn't enough pressure on the glass to actually wipe it well

I’ve been using the Trico blades for almost 4 years now, I’ve never had issues with it not doing its job.

Old video but it’s accurate.

I've got this: NOT spendy and works well:

Ditto- you just can't beat the price and it works great.

Haha, the OEM one was a slide and then release like the video above (or use a heavy pry bar to snap the connector off like I did)!

New one pops on and off and the 16” is great with better visibility for my Dashcam.

I found the other rear wiper thread and maybe this could be merged with the other. Thanks everyone!

I did the OEM FT4Z-17528-D (Edge?) yesterday. Big upgrade from the stock 12" and the clip/mount is the same.

14"? Mine is only 12", on a stock 2024 Premium AWD ER. I taped the blade down flat to avoid measuring a curve across its chord.

I've been searching for the Bosch A401H like has been suggested but they're simply not available anywhere I can find. .... I did buy and install a NAPA 0-15-G (comparable to Trico 15-G). It fits and works but I'd still like to find a compatible 16" blade but so far no luck. Suggestions?

Glad to have run across this thread. Just returned from my first road trip and seeing out the back was miserable in the snow.
I'm also cursed with the measly 12" rear blade on my '24 Premium. The NAPA 15" I just put on today is actually part number 6-015-G. I needed the counter guy to help translate the 0-15-G number to an actual NAPA number. Slide off and toss the extra trim clip and you're set. Hardest part us lining up and snapping in the new blade. Picture hopefully shows I picked up about 2" of sweep on the upper tip compared to the stock 12". It's close enough to the edge of the glass I don't know that I need anything longer?

I bought the 16" Wowiper, 16E and returned it because there was no way to attach it to the arm. It didn't have the plastic piece atop of it to attach to the arm.
However, the 15e of the same brand fit fine. I hope that the arm puts enough pressure to all of this much-longer wiper.

Very weird since it’s supposed to be a generic replacement for the Bosch A401H. A 15” is still much bigger than the joke Ford gave us, so it’s a huge improvement.

Here's the $10 version of A401H I bought.

Yes Dave, the stock wiper is ridiculous. You can call it Q-tip-esque.
