Detailed Description

Bosch A281H is an OE-style rear wiper blade engineered for vehicles that use a rear beam blade configuration. The beam-style profile helps maintain even pressure across the glass, while the natural rubber wiper element with graphite is selected for quiet operation and consistent wipe quality. This rear blade is listed for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Mini, and Volkswagen rear applications, including 2022-2026 Ford Explorer rear, 2022-2025 Ford Escape rear, 2018-2024 BMW X3 rear, and 2023-2026 Honda Civic rear.
