The first, important step is to buy the correct-fitting replacements. The 2009 Ford Escape takes 20" wiper blades on both sides front and a special 12" rear blade.
When buying windshield wiper blades be sure to always use the application guide book at the store, or now-a-days you can Google 'lookup wiper size'. You want to look this up because correct wiper fit is more than correct length, it's also proper attachment. Not all attachments fit all arms. Using the application guide or looking up wiper size online will avoid headaches of buying the right lengths with the wrong attachments.
As far as the special 12" rear wiper blade for the special rear arm, your dealer will have them (may be expensive) or you may want to look into "Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blades" that fit these new special arms - you can find them online. The good news is - specialized rear arms do not automatically mean the wiper blade is difficult to change - it just means you need to get the right blade for easy (and successful) installation.
The installation process is simple. The replacement wiper blades will come with step-by-step, illustrated instructions and once you have the instructions and the wiper blades/arms in your hands and in front of you, it will all make better sense and will an easy maintenance task. Very simple and takes 5-15 minutes usually not requiring any tools.
If in your budget, upgrade to the newer-style frameless "beam blades" which perform better than conventional framed wipers. I use Trico NeoForm Beam Blades which are fantastic.
