PSA: Bosch H253 rear wiper blade replacement fits R1S with 10 second mod

[Rheso]

$30 for the OEM blade felt like highway robbery, so I bought the Bosch one because it looked like it fit.

Well, it didn't, the geometry was wrong. However with 2 snips from my flush cutters and a firm push, I broke away a little tab of material and now it fits perfectly.

Saved $20!

I followed this guide at the time stamp to remove/replace the blade. Ignore the first part where he unscrews the entire arm, it's completely unnecessary:

Snip the green, firm push and a wiggle to remove the red:
