I have a 2010 Odyssey EX-L and apparently have never replaced the rear wiper blade. I replaced the front wiper blades with the normal generic blades from Walmart, but the 16" generic blade doesn't seem to fit on the rear arm.

Does the rear arm take a special blade? It is hard to imagine it would be engineered that way, but the wiper blade I have definitely would not fit.

Thanks,
Rob

Best thing to do is buy the inexpensive rubber refills from the dealer. You simply remove the rubber blade, transfer over the thin metal strips, and slide the new rubber back in. This goes for the fronts too but most people toss out the high quality OEM blade assembly for the aftermarket junk just because the rubber is no good.

^+1 OEM is better quality and costs less than the aftermarket.

I wouldn't say the rear wiper is special, it's just different. Very common and easy to find; you just need to lookup and buy the correct one. Not a generic one. Should be pretty simple and straight forward. A search on Amazon came up with these 50 options:

I just bought 2 rears Valeo from Rockauto under $5 USD each, see some rears Trico on Rockauto for $1.27 wholesaler closeout, would have bought those but then my order would split with 2 freight charges.
