Heftier , more solid 14" wiper blade from TOYOTA ..
Picked one up at their parts department . It was little less than $16 and got 15% off with a coupon . Tried it on way home and did better than the original blade . More snug to window for clearing and hope to get less ice buildup . Being heftier helps that and less flopping in the wind as the old one did . Should fit the rear wiper for the Yaris hatch and a FIT . Here's some pics .

Well, it will fit the yaris rear hatch with trimming 2" off, and removing the rubber wiper blade. Unless you meant the front, then it will fit fine
I tried the rain-x wiper of the same style on the drivers side and it didn't last long at all, very disappointed. Tried that style of blade for the 14" passenger side from autozone (duralast) and have been very pleased. The OEM and cheapo duralast 14" suck bad, I have to replace them twice as frequently as the drivers side. Let us know how long this toyota blade lasts and how it performs over time. I get coupons from the dealer from time to time and if it's worthwhile I may give this one a shot. |

Fits the rear hatch window of the '11 FIT . The YARIS window of the hatch should be close to that of the FIT .

Yaris hatch rear wiper is 12" and the wiper mechanism with the blade is part of the car, not like the front. So without removing 2" and the rubber insert won't work on the back Yaris hatch.

Looks like a Trico Force blade I bought for the drivers side...

That is cool that they stepped it up on the wipers. I did the Trini wiper mod going on 2 years ago now (Honda Civic/Fit wipers) and have been very happy with that, but this is a more cost effective route for sure.
