Questions About '96 XJ Rear Wiper Blades

I put Rain-X Latitude beam-style wipers on my 1996 XJ's windshield,
but Rain-X doesn't make that style for the rear wiper, which is a 12"
blade on the pin-style arm.

I bought a 12" Rain-X WeatherBeater Blade for the rear, but had to
return it because it would only fit the J-hook arm, and it didn't
include an adapter for the pin arm.

Does anyone make a frameless, bracketless, beam-style 12" rear wiper
blade?

If I can't find the beam-style, what do you guys think of the
following brands?

Michelin RainForce All Weather Performance
Valeo R-12A Rear Wiper Blade
Bosch Excel+

Thanks for any suggestions.

I just go out and buy a pack of 24" refills then cut it and fit
to the old blade carrier. (doesn't work for all types and sometimes
requires a bit of epoxy or a small push-pin to keep the blade in
the holder)

It's a beam style, but take a look at PIAA 93530

Silblade makes 12 inch blades. I use a 13 inch and just trim a tad off
the one end.

I think that will fit. Thanks.
