Default Replace Rear Wiper Blade

I need to replace the rear wiper blade on my 1988 S4. I've poked around and fiddled with it, but can't figure out how to remove the rear wiper blade(?). Can someone direct me on what I'm overlooking in how to remove (and replace) my rear wiper blade?
Thanks,
Michael

I hit the same thing... now how did I do it...... its one of those that the pin stays on the arm. If I remember rightly I just levered it off carefully with a screw driver.

There is small metal strip which needs to be bent little to release it. No tools needed at all other than few fingers.

Default Do there exist replacement rear wipers that have the mounting pin

Hi There,
I want to replace my rear wiper. Getting it off isnt a problem, but Ive had trouble finding a new wiper that has that pin that mounts to the arm. Are they out there?

EDIT: Some people on other threads mentioned Bosch, Alco, or Napa as having the post, can anyone confirm?

I replaced just the rubber inserts on all the wipers with Bosch microedge pieces. That way I can keep the originally-fitted support frames without worry. I work diligently to maintain originality of the car, so going through the rubber-only replacement is mandatory. I found the inserts at a CarQuest store in SoCal. I'm sure they are also available from out favorite vendors who carry Bosch service parts.
