Kia Stonic 1t 48v mhev - Replacing rear wiper blade - Plantop

Hi all , having noticed today that my rear wiper is coming apart l thought l would search online for a replacement, however it seems that the most popular item is a Bosch h281 but some websites say it is the right fit whilst others say not? Any advice gratefully received before l resort to the main dealer route, also is it easy to remove and fit a new blade? Thanks all

Looked on a wiper blade specialist website and it said H281 on there. But any 11" blade would probably fit and as far as I can tell, the fitting is just a standard hooked wiper arm. So there will be a wee tab that you push in and the old blade will slide out. The new one will click into place when you push it on.
