Wiper blade replacement

You are a scholar and a gentleman sir. Thank you.

 

@Roman correct me if wrong but according to parts.toyota.com , those show to be for 2007-2016 ?

Do they make sightlines for 2004 DC Limited 4x4 AT ?

 

No Sir. I don't. But since I'm getting close to 3 calendar years on the stockers I'm gonna pop over into the ultimate parts thread and ask Roman there. I did see that he was tagged further down in this thread. I'll double up.

 

That is correct. Those are for 2007+ models. 2000-06 takes two of these:

Thank You very much !

 

I clean, clay bar, and treat my windsheld with rain repellant twice a year and it really helps the blades last longer. Also use 303 on the blades.

 

Ordered!

 

mine came off the lot streaking haha. I never have good luck with blades.

 

I tried the Bosch Icons and must have had a defective couple of wipers....so much streaking. Waste of $
The Trico brand, particularly Trico Ice (#35-260 for 26") have worked very well! Usually get them at Wally World or Amazon for around $10 ea.
Living here in the snow belt of Michigan, they clear well and hold up well.

 

Part # for '18 tundra both sides.. thx

 

Just bought new Sightline blades from dealer to replace the originals that have been on the truck since new (3 years).

I hope I get at least 2 years out of the replacements.

 

I need to buy new blades. Will order from Roman.

 

I'm at 4 years and one month of my factory blades. There is one streak about 2" wide on the driver side, but they don't skip or squeak, so I'm living with it. I've got new ones, I just can't bring myself to put them on and deal with bad wipers again! Even replacing with OEM doesn't seem to be equal.

 

Ordered..

 

I bought some Bosch blades from Costco, and have no idea how they attach. Will figure it out later. haha

 

Replaced Rainx with top of the line Bosch Focal. No comparison. Focals rock.

 

Just for anybody curious...True OEM blades that need to be special ordered are better than Toyota Sightline blades.

 

I put on the Bosch last winter and they seem to be streaking now so I was expecting better performance based on the cost

 

Bought my truck in July, the wipers streak a lot. I have always used toyota blades or replacement blades on my camry's or my trucks. I have cleaned them have used 303 on them a few times. I think I just got a bum pair. I will replace with new toyota blades or refills. However they come.

 

I have the Rain X Latitude on , Driver Side streaks like mad. They did right away when installed . Im about to buy the Bosh Icons . Hope this will do the trick.

 

@Roman trying to add more stuffs to the cart. Can you please give me the link for cabin filter and air filter? Thanks!

 

Fo sho. I'll put links to both types of cabin filters here. The charcoal one filters out smells.

The driver side on the sightlines has been awful.. passenger is fine. Streaks right in my sightline. Go figure.. I reinstalled a couple times too and no luck.. pretty freaking annoying being that they are brand new and have been getting some solid storms coming through and cant see... fun

 

That's definitely not normal. Either the blade you received is defective, there is something on the windshield, or something weird is happening. Everyone has been super happy with those blades, myself included.

 

I used to coat my windshield with RainX but found it only lasted about a week in the Texas heat. Anyone ever try putting a ceramic wax on their windshield? The McGuires Hybrid I use on my truck paint beads up for months. I wonder if it would stay too hazy to see clearly.

 

Rain X coats there blades. You are supposed to wet the windshield and let them spread the coating (Rain-X) on the windshield. Then they stop streaking and clean great.

 

I went to Consumers Reports to see if they did a review on wiper blades. To paraphrase, all wiper blades clean well and all last at least one year. So buy any brand you want and change once a year and you will be fine.
Therefore they will not review them anymore. So it is similar to what you are doing. Just a bit less frequently.

 

Well, again, my Mama Toyota factory blades (bought new in December 2016) continue to work with no streaking. I have purchased the original OEM blade replacements from Roman (about $21 per side) and they're just sitting now on the workbench waiting for the OEM's to finally take a sh!t and go bad. It could be next year at this time.

Thank you again @Roman.

 

I tear them up with the snow and ice here so I am doubting they all last the same in different environments
