Where to buy wiper blades

I used to buy the rubber refills but dealers doubled the price to $20 each. The whole wiper is $30-40 each. Any good place to buy OEM parts or should I just switch to other brands?

I usually get them for both my cars once a year in Rock Auto. It's about half the price of the local stores.

Be careful and make sure the parts department gives you the correct sizes if you go the OEM route. My dealer gave me one that fit and one that was too tight for the grooves of my wiper arm. Tried to return and the woman at the counter wouldn't take the wrong one because she's the one who gave them to me and claimed she didn't make a mistake.

Be sure they give the "true" OEM ones, not the cheaper Toyota aftermarket ones. They should have the standard Toyota 5 digit - 5 digit part number, xxxxx-xxxxx. They should come in a soft plastic bag or no package at all. If they try to give you the part number with yzz in it that's not them. Those are crap.

That's all I use is the oem ones.

I will just say, on a whim I was in Target and got RainX wipers. Goodness, horrible, will order the factory insert or assembly to replace before the rain season comes here in Miami.
 
Historically, I only used Rain-X Latitude wipers.

Yesterday I picked up some Michelin wipers from Costco, for 8 bucks per, and am more than satisfied. Pretty sure they set cost less than one of the Rain-X ones. They seem to function just fine too.
