Rear wiper blade replacement: Disco 2
so....
i have gone to 5 different parts houses to get a new rear wiper blade....
NONE of them had one in stock: O’reily’s; Auto Zone, Advance Auto, Advance Auto.
Auto Zone and O’reily’s carry BOSCH H351 BUT that IS NOT the right part. It might have been at some point; but they have changed the design and the opening that allows the arm to slide into the blade and snap into place is no longer long enough.
also the 14D From Auto Zone DuraLast is the SAME manufactured part sold as the BOSCH H351; made by same company and has same stamped part on inside. BOSCH is $19, Duralast is $11, same part, different box.
does anyone have a reliable manufacturer and part number for a replacement?

You can get the part number from the Atlantic British web site and then Google it if you want to find it for less money. I think the last time I bought one I went to the dealer and it was reasonably priced.

You'll note my first suggestion was to get the part number from an information source available to any of us and then Google it for the best price. Only after that did I note anecdotally that the local Land Rover dealer price was competitive in my most recent instance. If you're 54 miles from an LR dealer just ignore my secondary suggestion and thank me for my primary recommendation.

For those in the US, I made an excellent yet accidental discovery today (no pun intended)....
go to NAPA!
the 14” NAPA - NP14 blade is a perfect fit!
it does not have the sloped exterior design, but the opening is exact, and it is about $7 with tax.
