Thanks so much. To follow up, I got a trico rear blade from Advanced Auto. The gentleman there was unable to put it on. With the video, I was able to easily get the original off but couldn't get the trico blade to go on. I went back to the store and a different guy said I attached the wrong adapter to the new blade. There were 4 to choose from. He changed out the adapter and put it on. This blade is half the cost of the OEM blade at the dealer so I'm glad he was able to get it to work.

I had the same problem with the Trico rear wiper set up. Non of the adapters were right. A simple 12r duralast (a cr*p brand imho) worked first time.

I've just been buying the replacement rubber blade inserts direct from the Honda dealer. Only $5-ish. I've wanted to switch over to a silicone blade in the rear but am afraid to try removing it from the arm. (I will have to check that video!) I've switched all the cars here to silicone blades so they last 2-3 years, not 4-5 months like traditional rubber blades.
