I order some from Rock Auto thinking I had finally struck pay dirt. Got a couple of regular Bosch blades and a 'Winter' Anco. Of course I was wrong and they do not fit. I learned a trick on the Anco though. If you pry the Mopar locking adapter off the OEM blade and swap it with the Anco it fits. It won't work on the Bosch though and I don't know if it will work on a regular Anco.

I assume you're talking about the rear wiper that on stocks in store? Good find. :)

I put on a Anco I found at the local auto parts store with no issues.

I think I started modifying wipers like this since my first car. It really sucks if you break any of the plastic tabs though.

Anco 30-11, but it isn't flexible enough to clear the whole window. It misses the top center.

I have run Bosch winter type blades on the front.
But on the rear, I have used a Autozone Winter Type Blade.
The first ones were crap, but the newer type does not fall off.

Just ordered a Valeo 11" blade for the rear. Works great no problems and clips in just like a standard front wiper blade. Link is below for the wiper blade.

It's always a good idea to run a "winter" type on the rear year round.
The cover that the winter type works as an excellent device to keep crud out of the hinge and flex points in the wiper mechanism.
This insures good contact with the glass.

Hmm. I have that very same one, but it does not come in full contact with the window for its full length. I think it misses some at the top. I wonder how I can fix that.
