R1S rear window wiper replacement?

[ceetiger]

Has anyone had any experience replacing the read window wiper blade? Searching the forum, the best
answer I have seen is a short video on how to do this on a RAV4. But trying it on my R1S doesn't seem to
be the answer.

If anyone has a video or a good description on how to do this, I would be very grateful.

Thanks for this, but that doesn't answer the question about how to remove/install the blade on the rear window wiper.
I'll have to look at my replacement blade, but I purchased it in the Rivian Gear Shop, so I expect it should be the correct version.

I've the same question and same problem with replacement (non-Rivian) not fitting.

I am reaching out to some contacts at Rivian to see if I can get official instructions.

The video on that link seems to show it pretty clearly.

Actually I was able to replace the blade without removing the arm. I pressed the blade to the window with one hand and used the other hand to pull the arm really hard.
Here's a video:

Thanks for posting this. I will give that a try.

Yup that's the way to do it! It looks fairly easy.

Easy once you know how to do it. Lexus GX was the same, fustrating beyond compare if you didn't know, but 5 minutes including opening the new one and tossing the old if you did.
