How do I figure out whether my rear wiper is OEM, or if it's aftermarket? I see two numbers on it: 1032-6, and >PET-GF30< Haven't really seen any other identifiers. I bought a Trico 16-A to replace it, but I'm thinking if it's OEM, I might as well find a replacement insert and return the Trico.
Most aftermarket wiper blades won't fit our Prius...or they'll seem to fit but actually fall off (or worst, scratch your windows!) (At least that's true for the Gen 4...we have 2.) I've found the best solution is to buy just the rubber wiper blades and replace those. Let me look up Toyota Part Numbers for a 2010 Prius II: (Should be less than $20 each and they do last a couple of years, I've found.) Rear: 85214-OE050 Right: 85214-30390 Left: 85214-68020
My opinion, keep the old blade just in case, but I have not found a replacement rubber blade in a long time to fit, in particular the rear.
The problem is I'm not sure my current (old) blade is OEM, so I'm trying to figure out how to tell. If it is OEM, I could definitely try to find a replacement rubber insert and keep the OEM. But if the blade is not OEM, I won't be able to find a replacement rubber insert anyway, so might as well use the Trico 16-A
If it looks like this, it's OEM: https://toyotaparts.mcgeorgetoyota.com/oem-parts/toyota-back-glass-wiper-blade-rear-8524247030?c=bD0yJm49U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHMmYT10b3lvdGEmbz1wcml1cyZ5PTIwMTAmdD1iYXNlJmU9MS04bC1sNC1lbGVjdHJpYy1nYXM%3D O'Reillys auto parts claims this one fits (I cannot confirm): https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/spectrum-direct-fit/wipers---components/wiper-blades/windshield-wiper-blade/cc738016e835/bosch-spectrum-direct-fit-16-inch-wiper-blade/bosu/r1616/v/a/30440/automotive-car-2010-toyota-prius?q=windshield+wiper+blade&pos=16
Are you able to take look at the underside of the blade and see if the numbers 1032-6 or >PET-GF30< appear anywhere?
