    Aren't these pretty standard? Should work with just about any wiper blades.

    Thats what I thought. A pic may shed light on something minor being the issue.

    Toyota uses some weird stupid clip design.Crap design and a pain to change wipers compared to standard j hook type that take like 10 secs to change

    I first used used Bosch Icons in AK. Great wipers. Then I tried out Yota Sight Lines from the dealer. Just as good. The Sight Lines are way better than the wipers put on new tunnies at the San Antonio plant. Way better. A bit cheaper than Icons. Easy to put on. Very easy.

    I kept having issues with the sightline. I now buy the wipers at Costco when they are onsale for like $7 a blade. They come with multiple clips and adapters. Super easy to use and I think they work better

    Roman sells the true OEM's (not Sightlines) for about $22 a blade. I'm at 3 years and 7 months n my OEM's with a replacement set just waiting....and waiting.....and waiting.

    I picked up some trico force blades from napa when I first got my truck. They work great!

    I've always cleaned my wiper blades every so often with rain x and a shop towel. You'd be amazing at how much gunk comes off of them. Keeps them working great and only takes a couple minutes. It has kept my blades going for years on every vehicle I've owned.

    I got the Bosch icon oe’s this weekend. They seem like they won’t fit but clip in fine. They’re expensive but they work GREAT

    Self admitting dumb ass move. DONT DO THIS!!! I was replacing my wiper blades and was trying to pinch the little tabs to get the old one off and the thing got away from me and the metal part snapped back onto the windshield cracking it in multiple places. I have to replace the whole windshield. Good thing I have glass protection. Put a soft cloth under it first. Surely I’m not the first one to do this.

    A month ago I replaced my original factory blade on the passenger side. 3 years and 9 months. A 1.5" long "sliver" came loose.

    The drivers side is still working perfectly good. December 20th, if it will make it, will be 4.0 years of faithful service.

    I replaced mine with Rain-x brand and the driver side would lift from 50 mph and above from the wind. Tossed it and put a Advanced auto aero on it, much better.

    I have had both OEM replacements and Sightlines and have been disappointed by both, especially considering the price. The refills I get for my wife's 2004 Sienna do a far better job, last longer, and are far cheaper. I suspect it has to do with the "beam"-style blade we're stuck with now (which also prevents us from using refills).
