Question Rear wiper blade removal

Ok folks, call me dumb if you wish, but I couldn't find an obvious way to detach the rear wiper blade from my RX.
Actually, I didn't try too hard, because before risking to break a clip or something I thought it was easier to ask here...
Picture below, thanks in advance for your tips!

All the information you need is already here at CL for the search. Been a topic that has been discussed since the early days of the 2nd Generation RX. You need to pry off the end cap. You can use either a replacement insert or a new Trico 14A blade.

Yeah, I had the same problem. Where the arm attaches to the car there is a small plastic piece that looks like a U... Wiggle it off and the arm comes right up. Not obvious and feels like you are going to break it, but then seems so obvious when you take this piece off.

You can also go up to a 16" blade to cover more area without hitting the top of the spoiler.

Amazon has it:
Trico 16-A Exact Fit Rear Wiper Blade, 16" (Pack of 1) : Amazon.com : Automotive Trico 16-A Exact Fit Rear Wiper Blade, 16" (Pack of 1) : Amazon.com : Automotive
