Default Hard Top Wiper Blade Changing

Hello all,
I am new to both this forum and the Jeep world. I bought my 2007 Wrangler X Unlimited used in Feb with 13K on the odometer. Now I am trying to do some routine maitenance and I cannot figure out how to get the rear wiper blade off to change it. I know it has to be something easy, but I dont want to break anything in my exuberance to remove it.
Appreaciate any help you can provide.

- UJ

Welcome to the forum, I haven't tried it myself but I found this thread:

post 5 seems to explain it (a little).

Damn, and I searched for those exact terms (with the exception of the word "window" in between).

Thanks for the link and damn you Wally World! I have a 16 inch replacement for it!

Default Figured it out...

The rear blade simply snaps in and out from the arm. It did it by standing directly behind the Jeep and pulling the arm straight out slightly then applying pressure on both sides of the blade assembly where it attaches to the arm. It popped right off and there is no way that that is a 16" wiper blade. Gonna have to return the new one to Wally World and pic up a thirteen inch blade and slide that into the housing.
