The technique is basically all the same.
- Lift the wiper blade off the glass. It will generally snap into an upright-ish position.
- Near the end of the blade farthest from the pivot, press the rubber blade up into the wiper (exaggerating the curve you get on the glass). This gets the tip of the rubber blade to poke down, out of the wiper.
- The tip of the rubber blade should start to clear the end stop. Use your fingers to pull the blade out a bit past this stop.
- At this point, you can either carefully draw the entire blade out (rubber and metal parts all together) or you can try to pull the two metal parts out one at a time then pull out the rubber (this is easier). Keep the metal parts and don't bend them! Just use your fingers--you shouldn't need tools for this.
Reverse the process to install the new rubber blade.
- Put the rubber part -almost- in. Leave the tip out over the end stop a bit.
- Finesse one metal part in one side and slide it down the groove to the end of the rubber blade (the curve should follow the wiper curve). Make sure it fits in the right "slot" in the rubber blade.
- Repeat with the other metal stiffener.
- Once the two metal stiffeners are in place, push the end home.

Can't find the rubber part you need?
Take the old rubber blade and match the profile to a high-quality refill blade, remove the metal strips from the refill (if the stiffener is plastic the refill is not "high-quality"!) and trim one end to match the original part length. Don't be afraid to trim it a little long--that is easier to correct than too short. When installing the new blade, put the factory-finished end in first (the part you trimmed will have open slots and it is easy to slide in the metal pieces).
OR, simply replace the entire wiper blade assembly which only takes seconds and only costs a little bit more than replacing the rubber refill inserts described above. See related links below for wiper blade sizes and installation videos.

How do you replace the rear wiper blade 4 runner?
This answer will vary depending on the year of the Toyota 4Runner. I do not see a rear wiper listed for 1992-2002 & 2010+, so if it has one, its a special toyota-only wiper that you can only get at the dealer. In that case ask the dealer how to change it. For 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runners, there is an aftermarket wiper blade available, but it is a fairly specialized design that is difficult to find in stores. See sources and related links below for information on the wiper blade as well as an installation video.

How do you change the rear wiper blade on 2006 Toyota 4 runner?
I do not see aftermarket replacement wiper blades nor wiper refills listed in the aftermarket wiper catalogs for the 2006 Toyota 4 Runner. This would possibly indicate that the rear wiper was a proprietary Toyota technology/design and you may have to go to the dealer for the parts and possibly labor. Before doing this (because its usually a little more expensive going through the dealer), you may want to visit some internet forums and see if there's other ideas out there. Google "toyota 4 runner forums" then search "rear wiper 2006" once in the forums. I'm sure there's rapport on this topic.
