Ey up,

Replaced my rear wiper blade last year and almost immediately the rear wiper began to click as it set off. Lived with it. The blade rubber failed after only 15 months. Just replaced again (same shop) and still clicks. Sounds like it's coming from the blade mount itself, not the mechanism/arm.

Am I missing something? Should I be adding some grease in the mount? Wary of sticking anything oily so close to the window.

The part used is a Trico ExactFit EX354 350mm 14". The shop didn't have any alternative makes or variants for my motor but are happy to source anything that is going to be better for my Landy (2004 Freelander 1 [facelift] Sport Premium).

Any reccommendations?
 
I only ever fit the correct OEM blade, as it's designed to cope with the unique off screen parking. Although I thought the OEM blades were Trico, but could be wrong.

@Nodge68 - Cheers for that! Ordered an AWR4116 off Amazon.
Amazon product
Photo attached, the AWR is clearly different to the Trico, shorter on the right hand side by nearly an inch. This was the bit which was sitting on the screen seal.

Fitted - no issues. Operated - no clicks! Totally silent.

One to store in the noggin for next time.
