    I bought my tundra used it has no brand name of the wiper blades but they are they best i've ever used.

    If they are toyota brand would they have no # or brand name on them?

    OEM Blades have a date of manufacture and mine lasted 5 years and were still good enough to keep ICE. When I divided the cost of new ones by 5 they are a bargain

    I had bought Michelin high-dollar ones, but they were noisy with light rain. So went back to dealer when time to replace, originals were great, so are these...I assumed OEM, but no guarantee.

    Plenty of people have complained about sightlines over the years.
    I tried RainX wipers and they would chatter across the windsheild all the time.
    I went back to Valeo..

    I’ve tried Bosch. (Usually love them on everything I’ve owned). On my tundra I haven’t liked them.

    Going back to OEM next time

    Ordered some OEM wipers and I got a 24" and 26". I'm assuming the shorter one goes on the driver side but the 26" blade sure looks too long to fit on the passenger side...

    Edit: I put the 26" on the driver's side and the 24" on passenger. Looks better but still seems too big for the passenger side.

    There are 2 different OEM versions. The Sightline being the cheaper of the 2 and the ones most complained about. Check the forum as there are other threads on this.

    One is 26" and the other is 23". The stock ones I got were 26" and 24". I think 24" is too long.

    Anyone have a part number for the factory original? I guess you can purchase just the blades($cheeper) if you have the original!

    The best wipers I have had are the factory ones. In Arizona you are lucky to last a season with the sun exposure here and you always find out you need them when you need them.

    I put a set on my truck 2 years ago and replaced with factory since the first set was so good. When I went to Missouri this past summer for my grandson's graduation I figured I better replace them since there was a lot of rain in the forecast and when I went to put them on I did not see anything wrong. On the way to Missouri the first day it poured on us and the windshield wipers did just fine and are still on. The new set is in their bag of spare parts with my serpentine belt and other stuff

    As far as the best I have tried on my Tundra are the factory blades. Bosch was my all time favorite until I bought my Tundra. Those factory wipers are the best

    Parts guy at my local dealer said you can replace just the inserts. Wish I knew before I tossed them!

    I got OEM blades from the dealer about a year ago. Right off the bat they were skipping across the windshield, and air was catching under them going down the highway. Both of those situations left visibility less than optimal. Got the Bosch Icons and tested them today (the first rain since I installed them). They're smooth and quiet, and clear all the rain off the windshield.

    They ain't cheap, but I've been real impressed with PIAA SI-TECH wipers. THey actually seem to get better with use. I do wipe them down with silicone spray every few months though.

    I am another one for the factory OEM blades.
    85212-0C030'
    85222-0C030
    I bought my 2014 used in 2017. I tried every stinking cheap or expensive wiper blade on the market. EVERY. It seems the driver's side chattered or squeaked the worst. Drove me frigging crazy in the PNW where it rains its' brains out. When I finally settled on the pair from the dealer I am happy and will not try any others no matter the cost.

    Your parts guy is wrong. We have a beam style wiper (which sucks in performance and price, by the way) not the articulated type which takes refills. On our trucks we have to replace the entire blade/beam. As mentioned above, the OEM blades are the best we can get for our trucks even though they pale in performance to the articulated arms with refills (which they still use on other vehicles, like our '23 Camry).
