I have read this thread and all the others on changing wiper blades but I’’m struggling to get the rear wiper off. It’s the hook fitting but no lugs to press or tabs to pull. It has a rivet for the hinge and two slightly bigger holes forward of the hinge but no obvious tab to push in. After squirting a very small amount of penetrating oil into the fitting the wiper body is moving within the hook but will not slide out.
Advice would be appreciated.

I usually get mine to a vertical position by opening the boot slightly mid cycle - then just push the wiper upwards and it pops out

I tried that and nothing moved except the wiper arm bent to an alarming shape, but recovered.

Just did it again after your advice and with the bit of lubrication it gave way and it’s off.

Thank you Alistair, you gave me the confidence to push a bit harder.

Here's my old one.

I appreciate that this is an old thread, but I found it while doing some research.

I see that people have commented that some have a 24" wiper and a 20" wiper, and some have two 24" wipers.

The Land Rover parts website shows that the part numbers for the driver's side have changed several times, and the driver's side and passenger's side had different part numbers. Then there's a final change and both sides use the same part number.

So maybe LR initially used different size wiper blades for each side, then changed their mind (maybe to simplify inventory?), and settled on the same size both sides. While suppliers such as Bosch kept the 20"/24" sizes on their configurator.
