    Seemingly this information is not indexed well via Google etc. It took me a long time to find part numbers and I was still they'd fit.

    These part numbers fit our 2011 Prius perfectly:

    85214-30390
    85214-68020
    85214-0E050

    I changed by keeping the blade body on the car and sliding the blades out of one end. Five minute task for all three.

    Inserts? You can buy the whole wiper for $6.98 at Walmart.

    Yeah, and I'm a big fan of the heavy duty RainX brand! Had it on my 2 RAV4's lived in PA. Those blades were the nicest I've ever owned

    I need to purchase wipers/blades but I have no idea what to get or what I should not get.

    Measure the length of the rubber wiper blade both driver & pass side and write it down. Go to Walmart and buy the brand of your choice entire wiper for $6.98 each. They are all labeled in length from 16" to 24".

    So if I were to get something like a Rain-X blade, I can swap the insert out?

    Why would you bother swapping the insert when its so much easier to swap the entire wiper?

    One reason to keep the original blade bodies and changing just the inserts is you keep those stylish blades.
    I did swap blades on the front but kept the blade body for reuse someday.
    I used these on the front (26"+19") and am very happy, except for the seamless look: Valeo 900-26-1B Frameless ULTIMATE All-Season Wiper Blade - 26" : Amazon.com : Automotive
    I didn't do it on the back because the blade and the wiper arm form one seamless, stylish assembly.
    And I need to change the insert.

    mp3_ , Your list at the top does not say which is which.

    I bought replacement blades at a Toyota dealer -- these were an alternative "conventional" type blades and not the original beam type. I saved the original blades, and after just a few months I bought refills and re-intalled them. These are sooo much better.

    Aftermarket blades generally suck in my experience. Perhaps aftermarket inserts work ok? ~$15 to have three genuine inserts shipped to our door seems reasonable.

    Amazon has 3-pack for right, left and rear. +++ 5 minutes start to finish. Keep the factory arm, it's much better,

    The dealer wipers are the best. I have owned my 07 since new and have tried many many blades but the oem blades worked the best.

    OEM original WAY better. I had after market. The wipe was not noiseless and complete. Original OEM is noiseless and complete wipe .Buy rubber replacement strips.
