The OEM wiper blade size in inches is 10".

The part number for the entire OEM Jeep Renegade metal wiper arm and plastic blade assembly is Mopar 68256590AA.

A compatible aftermarket rear wiper blade is the Bosch H240.

The tools you may need to remove and replace the wiper blade include a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool, a 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

I had trouble lifting the rear wiper assembly far enough off the back window in order to rotate the old wiper blade off the arm.

I didn't want to crack the wiper arm or break the glass, so I decided to remove the single nut that holds the entire wiper assembly to the back windshield.

Gently pull the black plastic cover off the base of the rear wiper arm assembly.

Set the plastic cover aside in a safe place.

Remove the single nut that secures the rear wiper assembly to the back window by turning it counterclockwise with a 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

Note - If you didn't have to (or want to) remove the wiper assembly from the window, start following the steps at this point.

Rotate the old wiper blade away from the wiper arm at a slight angle.

Try to avoid using excessive force.

The mounting bar in the center of the old wiper blade should pop out of the "C" shaped socket at the end of the wiper arm relatively easily.

The Bosch H240 blade is about 3/4" (or 2cm) shorter than the OEM blade.

If you prefer to have an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) part, purchase the Mopar 68256590AA complete rear wiper assembly which includes the wiper arm, plastic base cap and a new wiper blade.

The rubber blade should be pointing out away from the wiper arm and the back of the SUV.

Rotate the new wiper blade until it is almost parallel with the wiper arm.

Continue rotating the new wiper blade towards the wiper arm until the mounting bar in the center of the new wiper blade pops in to the "C" shaped socket at the end of the wiper arm.

(If you did not remove the assembly, lower the wiper arm to the window and replace the base cover.)

Push the wiper assembly back into place over the exposed bolt end at the bottom of the back window.

Tighten the nut in the clockwise direction with the 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet until it is snug.

Try to avoid over tightening the nut to prevent from cracking the glass or damaging the wiper arm.

For the best wiper performance, I recommend thoroughly cleaning off the window and applying a glass treatment product that will help repel water such as Rain-X.

You may also want to check that the 10mm nut is still tight after the next few rainy days that you use the rear wiper.
