Non-specified rear wiper for Hyundai Palisaide

[wemay]

specifically the 2022 Palisaide at Auto Zone, DR12P part number..

2022 Hyundai Palisade.

No one had it in-stock. Dealer says they do online but they didn't. Anyway, I found these which fit perfectly...but aren't supposed to.

I'm a stickler for standardization and don't understand why rear wipers need to be unique unto themselves. It's still just a wiper blade.

Good on you, you should post on any H/K forums you might be part of.

I cut the (front) arms on our Tundra and welded on J-hooks so now the average dime store blade works.

I'm working on founding Citizens Against Proprietary Wiper Blade Attachment Points, but first we gotta run some focus groups to find a name that's less of a mouthful

I couldn't agree more

Because automakers just have to make everything look all barbie starbucks fashon nowadays so no "ugly" rear wiper like on my old yukon even though it's great. The escalade has a worse functioning hidden rear wiper that also isn't the standard kind to make it look better when in use so no j hook even though one can barely see it during the rain anyway and it hides completely when not in use.

I had an analogous experience with my 2007 Volvo V70 rear blade.
The decorative shrouding on several aftermarket brands didn't work/match or fit.
Why the clown designers chose to involve the decorative skirting instead of just employing "a blade swap" is a mystery.
Bosch's offering fits perfectly, so I've been staying with them.
Do note that buying one at a dealership was not going to happen.
