2000 sr5 rear wiper and trim question

[pntball650]

just picked up my first 4runner and trying to get it back in shape..... i just went to napa and autozone and both told me they dont carry a rear wiper blade. anyone know why this might be or where i can get a replacement blade? also, the black trim piece on the front of the hood is broken.....where can i get one of these or should i just remove it altogether? thanks

For the rear blade just stop by the dealer. They aren't that expensive.

Easiest thing I've found is to replace the whole thing (held on with 2 screws), and I just buy it at the dealership - shouldn't be much more than 10 bucks. Not sure what trim piece you're speaking of, can you post a picture?

Where in AL are you?

That's a rock/bug shield. Replacing or removing is a matter of personal preference, but if you want to replace it they are available at just about any auto accessory website.

I'm in Gadsden now, but will be moving to the Birmingham area soon.
