Windshield wiper replacement on the 2010 Prius

Rear: 85214-0E050
Driver: 85214-68020
Passenger: 85214-30390


the passenger side number is wrong for 2010 prius at parts.com
if you have model year 2010 use the model year 2011

 

I just learned the same thing, I should have done a search first. The three factory refills were approximately $6, $7, $8 for a total of $21. The Toyota blade design is nice, they are the easiest inserts to change that I have ever done.

As JD found out, the universal inserts don't work very well. The problem is that the Toyota metal splines that fit Toyota inserts are much thicker than normal insert splines and they are curved to function as springs to hold the full length of the blade against the glass. The universal insert splines are too thin and weak to function as springs and the Toyota splines won't fit in the universal insert rubber.

I've done this for several years and am well satisfied.

Here's wiper blade replacement info:

 

Thanks for posting the instructions. It's really easy to do. One thing to watch out for is that you need to save the metal splines to use with the new rubber. Most blade refills include new splines, but not Toyota. Fortunately the splines look like substantial stainless steel so should last the life of the car.

 

I replaced my wiper blades on my 2012 last week. I have a question. On the driver side, the indent to hold the rubber
on the blade was at the top of the blade. On the passenger side, it was on the bottom. Is it suppose to be that
way or doesn't it matter. Thanks

 

How much does it cost to just have the Toyota dealer put on new wiper blades for me? Parts are about $22...how much is labor?

 

Is the rear wiper really important? I mean how often do you use it?

 

I paid $26 to have the driver's only replaced at the dealer.

 

I'm glad I found this. I'm getting some pretty good streaking from the drivers side.

$26 for the driver side is pricy. I got a 26" and 19" for $27. I went with the Rain-X Fusion just because they're similar to OEM but for a fraction of the price. They meet OEM standards
