So I just put this on. I need to look at it more closely in the morning, but the wiper blade doesn't seem to be setting firmly against the rear windshield. I'm pretty sure I've got the arm seated all the way down on the bolt. There looks to be two rubber gaskets around the bolt. Perhaps the top one needs to come off to get the arm seated down further on the bolt?

Installed mine. Don't expect it to last more than a couple trips through the car wash. Definitely cheap plastic crap, the flimsy cover for the bolt will be gone first. But it was only $12....
Ordered and it didn't fit my 04 LX
Blade didn't touch the window and the arm sits below the glass on the body.
Might work on my 80

The wiper arm has two stops molded into the hinge section that limit its travel to 90 degrees which is not enough to work with the Land Cruiser rear window (The original application is for a Hyundai i20). I used a dremel to remove material from the two stop sections so it has a greater range of travel. It works pretty well now.
About a year ago my oem was bent at the car wash and I got this one to replace it. Aesthetically it was very nice, however, when it came down to wiping it just didn’t have the same contact strength.(didn’t wipe anything but 1/4 of the blade at the bottom) I ended up spending an additional $60 to go back to OEM - now it’s back to normal.
I just ordered mine and it had a $5 coupon as well! $8.20 out the door
The spring in this thing is really wimpy compared to the OEM spring.
I haven't run my rear wiper once since I got my Cruiser three years ago. I just bought it because the old one looked crappy.
@gatormark91 - same here

Be sure and grind down these tabs to get more pressure o the window.
Proper tool, be sure and spray with PB blaster a day or 2 prior to trying to remove it.

I ordered one and put it on. Problem was the top of the wiper would not contact the glass at the top. Took it off and put the old one back on. I also ground down those spots shown in the picture above. Still no contact to the glass towards the top of the hatch.
