OEM Wiper Blades

[larrylegend]

I've never had a dealer refuse to sell me OEM wiper blade inserts, I'm located in central Indiana. I just give them the model and year and they bring the inserts right out. I have always stuck with the OEM inserts, they seem to work well and are cheap enough I can replace them 2x a year if needed.

This is great. The prices online were cheaper than what the dealer said over the phone and there’s a option of picking up at the dealer. It was a great deal. Thanks

Rain-X Expert Fit Hybrid complete blades from WalMart. Easy job, not expensive, they work great.

I’ll stick with OEM, I replaced my 2018 blades last fall and they weren’t really too bad. I figure over 3 years on a set of blades I’ll replace with the same blades. Don’t remember what I paid, but when I paid for them the guy in the parts room asked if I wanted him to replace them, I asked “free of charge?” He said of course, I said of course. I’ll stick with OEM

I just replaced some Bosch blades with OEM blades and the OEM blades have been great in snow, ice, and rain. I found the part number from another thread and found it cheapest to purchase on Amazon (where the seller was a dealer). I did find it odd, it was cheaper on Amazon than it was through that dealer's website since they added a shipping charge.

Hi All. I want to give you a warning about Toyota wiper blades. The dealers sell two types of wiper blade for the 4Runner and both are listed as Genuine Toyota parts. There is the original factory OEM wiper blades and they also sell a after market made by Sightline but the box says Genuine Toyota Parts and uses Toyota wiper blades. HOWEVER, the wiper blade refills only fit the original OEM wiper blades from Japan. They will not fit the Sightline wipers and Toyota doesn’t sell wiper inserts for them. They expect you to pay $20 for them and then throw them away. This is retarded and wasteful. I recently bought wiper blade refills thinking I had original OEM wiper blade but I discovered later and that I have the Sightline and not the original OEM factory ones. So the wiper blade replacements I bought don’t fit. So now I either have to buy the factory wiper blades which cost $30 a piece, buy another set of the Sightline for about $20 a piece or after markets blade. I don’t know if there are any after market wiper blades refills fit the Sightline. If you know please let me know.

So that no one suffers my mistake here are picture of the two different blades.

This is the original factory wiper blade from Japan. The easiest way to identify it is that it has no Toyota logo on the center and the top cover of the wiper blade is in 3 sections.

For some reason I can’t get the OEM pictures posted at this time. It seems the photo gallery is slow in uploading. I will try again later but at least you can see the Sightline for now.

The Sightline has a Toyota logo on it and the upper portion of the wiper blades are in 5 sections. There is a center piece and two covers on each end. Toyota wiper blades refills WILL NOT work on these!!!!

I just put on a set of Bosch Icon blades last week and used them for the first time last night. Didn't realize how bad my old OEM ones had gotten. Seem really good to me and it rains all the time in Houston so we'll see how they last.

 

[bill444]

Has anyone found an online dealer selling the refill inserts lately?

My local dealer doesn't sell them and I tried to get them from McGeorge while ordering other parts. They don't sell them anymore either.

For which wipers? The dealer sells two types? The original factory OEM ones or ones made by Sightline? The OEM wipers have a 3 piece plastic upper cover. The Sightline has a 5 piece plastic upper cover and has a Toyota logo on it.

For the original wipers you can order parts from Toyota Official Online Parts here. Toyota Parts and Accessories - Official Online Store
If you order $75 or more shipping is free. If your order is less than $75 and want to save on shipping you can pick your order at your local dealer. However, not all dealer allow this. In my area there are 3 Toyota dealers Concord, Dublin and Livermore CA. Livermore doesn’t allow pickups for some reason.

As for the Sightline wipers I found out that my NAPA Auto Parts said they have some but I didn’t buy them so I’m not sure if they fit. Try there.

I've not had very good luck with OEM Toyota blades. Toyota keeps changing the source. Instead, I've switched to the Bosch Icon blades and been very happy with them.

If you want OEM Toyota blades, if you have the part number, search Amazon. I have bought several automotive parts on Amazon from Toyota dealerships.

Costco sells the Muchelin wiper blades and they are dirt cheap. I tried the high end version of Rain X and could not get rid of them fast enough. Here in Montana we end up changing them every year.

Costco sells the Michelins for about $6 on sale, do they also sell Bosch?
I bought the Michelins as back-ups, haven’t used them on the 4R but we used them on the RAV4 and they were good for a season.

Ya, it’s weird how some Toyota dealers that participate on Toyota Parts and Accessories - Official Online Store don’t sell some stuff.
I’m not surprised some don’t want to ship coolant or oils, but for awhile spark plugs were listed as “no longer available”. Same for wiper blade refills.

Looks like Maita in Sacramento has all three available.

The original factory OEM inserts.

I tried parts.toyota.com and it gave me the option for pickup at my local dealer at a discount off MSRP. The local dealer was the first to tell me they don't sell inserts at all anymore despite being able to put them into an online order.

I wonder if this is a Southeast Toyota Distributor issue pushing Sightline. I may try a dealer out of this region.

Do you know the part numbers for the original Toyota wiper blades? Found out I have the Sightline blades and I want to switch to the original blades so that I can use the blade inserts.

Hi All

I need to replace the wiper blades on my 2016 TRD Pro. I’m planning to buys some online but before I do I wanted to double check that I have the original 4Runner wiper blades. I bought my truck used so I’m not 100% sure my blades are original but they look original to me. Can someone confirm this for me?

Thanks

OEM blades are better and cheaper to replace than aftermarket. With OEM ones you can just order the rubber part that slides in and out instead of replacing the whole blade.

 

[WarrIndustries]

I have kept my OEM wiper assemblies and just changed inserts when needed. I think they function better than any aftermarket wipers I have ever bought. The inserts I have found cheapest on ebay or buying from a dealer that sells below MSRP.
