Is it possible to put a Bosch Icon wiper blade on the rear wiper on a KK? I have them on the front and would like to put one on the rear window if possible. Anyone know?

No idea, sorry. But I replaced the rubber wiper blade on my rear wiper by cutting a generic wiper blade to size (and reusing all of the metal & plastic parts in the oem wiper assembly). It was only a couple of bucks at Advance Auto and has worked great. |

Not sure on a KK, but my KJ took a standard 11" blade. It was like doing a Rubik's Cube to get it to snap into place, but it worked great. I reused the clip that was on there but one of the ones that came with the blade looks like a match for it. If it ever gets warm (next May?) I'm going to swap them out and maybe do a little write-up on the process.

I would like to be able to get it my KK also if possible just not sure if it can be done with that blade cover they have on it. |

Ah, I see. That's what you get for buying the fancy new version.  Here's a blast from the past which may be of help: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=48322 Seems that others noticed the little cover do-hickey as a problem too. Looks like it can still be done with a stock blade, as long as it's the "right" stock blade.
