Rear wiper blade replacement?

I’ve got a 83 GSL and for years I’ve never come across a rear wiper blade that was correct. Every one that comes up saying it’ll fit is the type that would fit the front wiper whereas the rear has the fixed post that locks into the wiper arm at a 90° angle.

Does anyone know where to find replacement wiper blades? Or are you supposed to reuse the wiper blade and just put a new rubber wiper strip on it? I’m at a loss here lol..

Whatever you do, do NOT throw away that blade assembly. You can find the arm with blade and use the pin from the original. It's the pin that is hard to find. Don't buy the ones that have all kinds to universal mounting parts. The issue is the one ones don't come with that pin.

if you buy an NWB blade in the right length, you can pull the rubber bit out and just use that. NWB is the OE for Mazda
