nc_beagle Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I found blades (Bosch) that go perfectly on the front, but when I remove the rear wiper, the pin is part of the wiper blade. Should it come off or do i need to look for something different for the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsolete Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 You'll need a separate pin. The part is ANCO 48-05 (or 4805) but they are hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pins you reference don't look exactly like what I see on my blade. One end of the pin is flattened and seems part of the blade. I think I just need step-by-step. Would i simply use one of the 48-05 pins on a new blade? It would hold in place? I've attached two photos of the current blade.

obsolete Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Yes, the new blade will probably come with half a dozen different adapters, one of which should accommodate the removable 3/16" pin. It's pretty hard to find wipers with built-in pins like that anymore. I'm not aware of any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 On the rear the pin shouldn't be part of the blade. It should be the other way around. It should be part of the arm. There's metal tab on the underside that you press up or down (I forget) and the blade slides off the pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsolete Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Really? Do you have a picture of that? My rear wiper arm works exactly like the fronts. The pin is not part of the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_beagle Posted June 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Is it possible the pin got stuck in the blade and came off with it? It's a new-to-me car so the first time I have looked at the rear wiper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not home right now, but my car is right in the garage so I can take a look and snap some photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 You are correct. Pin is on the wiper. Theres a little latch mechanism on the arm you push that allows the wiper pin to slide out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_beagle Posted June 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Just to wrap up this thread and my original question. I went and got the same wiper blade as I used on the front and used the pins I bought online. They work, but they stick out of the holes on either side of the blade. It's fine though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contsi Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Can someone post the part/part number for the blade? Bosch or otherwise. I need to replace the rear. I realize I’ll need to get the pin. I also confirmed that pin is attached to blade on the rear and to arm on fronts. Can the same blade be used on the front? Utilizing the existing pins.
