    I went to ask for wiper inserts and the parts guy said Toyota now requires a minimum purchase of 10 or more per side for oem wiper inserts or blades and that only the sightlines can be purchased individually at the counter.

    Please tell me he was full of dog poo and there is somewhere online I can get the proper stuff. Ever since the sparks parts website broke some time ago and the whole cool springs thing, I don't know who to order from anymore

    I don't believe you're going to find OE inserts, but this is a decent price (considering our current state of :censored:)...

    It was at least a year ago I heard someone else say dealer wasn't selling the inserts anymore. I didn't even try and just went for other type of wiper blades from Rockauto instead.

    Check out Valeo blades on Amazon, just as good as factory IMO, and comparably priced.

    dealer has to buy in packs of 10. alot of dealers refuse to replace inserts because "effort" so they wont stock them.

    ^This is good advice.
    I was buying these about every 2 years whether I need them or not.

    ALTHOUGH, when my truck sat at Toyota waiting on cat parts for 8 months, I bought these.
    Been about a year and seem to be as good as the Valeos, but cheaper.
