02 Escape Rear Wiper

Anyone Know Where To Get A Replacement Blade Besides The Dealer? I Have Been Turned Down By Napa And Autozone So Far.

Sorry For All Caps!

I found an 11" replacement blade at Advance Auto Parts. The original is 10" and this one just barely goes above the window at the top of the sweep. I cut about a 1/4" off that end where it did touch the paint.

I use a larger size blade refill and take the new rubber out cut it off to the right length and then "lace" it into the old blade.

Re: 02 Escape Rear Wiper

Seriously...is $11.50 just way too much for a wiper blade once a year??? I mean, come on, you waste more on gas driving around looking for a wiper than you would had you just gone down to the dealer and gotten one. I'm all for saving money but there is a point where I just draw the line and buy the thing even if it is a dollar or two more. And by the way, the Motorcraft style blade that most dealers carry is FAR superior to anything that you can get anywhere else. MM.
