Just go with new OEM ones, they work fine.

 

Yup, just get the OEM inserts, and you'll be fine. They are dirt cheap and work absolutely fine.

Question, my main wiper arms have lost much of their paint: repaint or replace?

I would replace them if it was me, but you could also have them repainted.

 

Repaint the wiper and get oem refills.

 

The Bosch ones work good for me also.

 

Had the Toyota in the past. Got the Bosch Micro Excel. Pepboys, not a place I usually frequent had them (Pepboys is next to Costco, a place I do frequent).

These are great. The metal reinforcement is inside. The blade seems thicker, and denser, firmer, yet more pliable rubber.

They made a HUGE difference. I don't recall any of our other wipers working as well. Just put them on my truck also.

Note: The driver's are looses the aero scoop and all of them are taller than the Toyota assemblies. You will only notice that on installation, however the difference seemed to be over an inch in the back.

Canadian Tire reflex blades. They work amazing. Im not one to recomend a canadian tire product but they work AMAZINGLY. there much like the OEM wipers that you can get on mercedes, there is no metal, just a long rubber arm thats u-shaped. Works so nice.

 

I'd go with the Toyota ones but don't just get the refills (they are a pain and don't work as well) get the whole blade. They are not very expensive.

Just replaced all 3 of our blades with some Anco brand (found in most parts stores). Instead of repainting the existing ones and trying to find which refills to use... was much easier to just spend the $4.99 each and know the brand/types of refills to get later... as well as look like they've been freshly painted. Took about 5 minutes to install all 3.... Good luck!

 

PIAA Blades have worked great for my vehicles.

 

i have teh PIAA Super Silicone blades.... my brother has the same on his is300..... they are AMAZING... the water beads off of the windshield mostly and the wipers get the rest.... i got mine from www.tirerack.com 22 bux for the 21 incher and 19 for the 19 incher... so far so good..... i would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone.

 

I think they mean repain the arms that connect to the blade. Not the blade itself

 

PIAA for sure...
Those wiper blades work magic in the rain, and it doesn't matter how much. A little pricey but the best, without a doubt.
