Learn how to remove the rear wiper blade in your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. Replace the rear wiper blade on your Atlas at least once a year even if you don't use your wiper much - the sun wears out the wiper wiper blade rubber more than using it to wipe water. Another trick to enhance the longevity of your Atlas's wiper blade is to scrape off the ice and snow from the glass or use the defroster before using your wiper. A layer of ice has sharp edges that can reduce the effectiveness of the micro edge of the rubber wiper blade.

Funny you bring this up. About a week ago I replaced my Front but was unable to find the rear that is for mine.

Has anyone found a rear wiper that works with our cars? I am striking out! A link would be perfect! I plan on getting the blade from the dealership to keep the original length, but this is my emergency
replacement in the spare tire compartment. It's about 1/4" to 1/2" shorter than the factory blade, but it is what Bosch offers, plus the clip/adapter necessary to fit. I cross-referenced at an O'Reilly Auto parts store, and they confirmed this would replace it, though they didn't have it in stock, hence the Amazon link above.

I bought these For the front and just needed to swap out the connections and
bought this one for the rear- Amazon said it would fit and...it did not! This should not be this difficult to get replacement blades! I Have a serious issue with streaking on my windshield I have bought VALEO for years and would not try anything else👌 But the rear is not as important except for the chattering skipping when they are going bad

Dealer or just google - the VW ones are about $15. They are 14" I believe.

When I put in my model information it says that it does not fit a cross sport.

When I put in my model information it says that it does not fit a cross sport. No idea - should be the same between the standard Atlas and CS - have the dealer give you the part no. and cross check it.

Also, the connecting mech should be the same as any other current VW so even though they are only 12", a Golf/GTI/R rear wiper will fit (I've used one before) and is v. easy to find online. Good luck.

The factory r. wiper is 12", not 11" like for the Golf/GTI/R/Alltrack/Sportwagen. I get mine at the dealer or ECS Tuning.
