OEM Wiper Blades

Lexington · May 31, 2022

NAPA sells blade refills for the Sightline blades but you’ll have to spend $40 to get them. Instead of $20 for 1 right and 1 left blade you have to buy 2 right and 2 left blades separately. Might as well buy the OEM ones.

I’m not sure who you are planning to buy from but give Toyota Parts a try too. I found that I got better prices than eBay. Note, not all dealers participate in this. Also you but more than $75 worth of stuff you can have it shipped for free. Toyota Parts and Accessories - Official Online Store

I have been buying OEM refills for as long as i have owned the truck (ie bought new) I did buy a set of complete OEM replacements and they are sitting on the shelf, whenever I feel like replacing the originals... so nine years and the original assemblies still going strong on an outside truck.

IMHO getting whole new assemblies when all you need is a blade is just a bullshit waste and lazy (it take 3 more minutes per wiper, if your slow, to replace a blade vs. the whole thing)

without asking, dealer substituted the sightline blade for the ordered 85222-52180. which i wanted to be able to refill. when I called they said they don't sell refills and that why they substituted the sightline , no offer to refund or get me right blade, 2nd time dissapointed in dealer when ordering parts.

I’m sorry to hear that. I would contact Toyota Customer Service directly and submit a complaint. 800-331-4331

They should have at least called you and told you if you wanted the substitute before making the change. Curiosity question. How did you order the blades?

I use good old Anco blades. Buy them from Amazon less then $30 for the pair. Going to try Scrublades this winter.

The rubber inserts are replacement blades only for the original OEM windshield wiper. The Sightlines are a Toyota approved aftermarket windshield wipers that are only sold as a complete set. The rubber inserts will not fit the Sightlines.

Here’s a link that shows the difference between the two. Review - Factory wipers vs. Dealer wipers

My used 2019 ORP had some aftermarket front wipers - may have been the dealer Sightlines. But I swapped them to OEM so that I can just do the inserts moving forward. The rear was already OEM so just swapped the insert.

What a great idea. Shame more brands don't do this. Saves on waste and cost.

I agree. I hate the new trend with wipers blades where you have to buy a whole wiper blade set. Most auto stores no longer sell just the wiper blades only. It’s such a waste. My 4Runner had the Sightlines wipers when I bought it. I replaced it with the OEM wipers. No only do I feel the OEM blades are of better quality compared to the Sightlines, but so much cheaper.

I made a video on replacing the OEM wiper blade inserts. Cost me around $25 for the rubber, purchased straight from Toyota.

I've been using OEM wiper inserts and find they are better than aftermarket stuff.
Replace mine annually depending on mileage.
Very satisfied!

I'm also a fan of OEM inserts - both my 2021 4runner and 2015 Rav4.
They wipe very nicely. I change them only every 2 years to maintain this "wipe very nicely" - because, the three inserts wind up costing me C$50-ish per vehicle! They are not cheap.

I have decided that this thread has made me upset.

I went and remembered to check mine yesterday or the day before and..
I no longer have the OEM blades. I got the toyota branded ones. =(
