This wiper blade and arm was on my 110 when I got it 16 years ago. The rubber is now rotten, intact it's been rotten for a few years.
Last time I put in an order at Paddocks I got new blades all round but the rear doesn't fit, it was the same as the front iirc.
Mine mounts completely differently so I chucked the paddocks one in my spares cupboard.
Just had another look at the rear blade again today and thought "I really must sort this"
Does this type look standard or has someone fitted a wiper arm complete off a metro or something?
It mounts to the arm at 90 degrees to the blade , not the same as the fronts.

You may be able to reuse the fitting, it should pop out of that blade and into your new one

    Sorry, lost this when the search function disappeared!
  2. The blade holder has lost its shape unfortunately so I need a new one really.
In the pic you can see a little lever at the end of the arm, if I depress this the blade holder is released leaving a pin. Quite a nifty thing really- I loikes it:).

google trico pin type wiper
 
Yes!, Just googling about and I see that early models like mine have the pin type, later have the hook type same as the front.
I think it might be less hassle to replace the arm especially as I have 5 or 6 new spare front blades in my spares box.
I normally buy consumables like blades/filters etc to bump any orders up from the main suppliers to get the free postage.
Anybody know the later hook type arm part number?
 
There you go LINKY
The front ones will likely fit the spindle. Are the blades longer on the rear? You could probably fit one of the fronts arms with a longer blade fitting.
