Introduction Like everyone else who owns (or knows someone who owns) a Gen 2 Chevy Trax or a Gen 2 Buick Envista, I quickly found out that there is no aftermarket support for these vehicles regarding the wiperblades. And the options that do "fit" are either some cheap/knockoff brand you find on Amazon or some aftermarket name-brand (like Bosch or Rain-X) that can attach, but isn't connected properly or securely.

The adapter tries to blend the contours of the Rain-X blade and Trax rear wiper arm together as best as it can, but it's n
