I am looking for the original wiper blades that come with the 2011 Prius... I saw some Denso ones on Amazon but wasn't sure if those were it. I am looking for those because I have tried just about every wiper and it seems like the suggestion of going with the original baldes and swaping out the blades is the best option and cheaper in the long-run. Also, where would be the best place to get these wipers for a cheap price?
I would stop by the local Toyota dealer as they sell the refills and are usually competitively priced.
In Toyota’s parts catalog for the 2011 Prius, Figure 85-01, Windshield Wiper, shows the part numbers: Blade, Front Wiper, Left: 85222-75011 Blade, Front Wiper, Right: 85212-47040 Rubber, Front Wiper, Left: 85214-68020 Rubber, Front Wiper, Right: 85214-30390 You can start with a set of blades (list price $29.99 each), which include the rubber inserts, and then replace only the rubber inserts (list price $9.99 each) as needed. The replacement parts available today at Toyota dealers, including several with online stores, may or may not be identical to those originally installed at the factory, but if you buy from a dealer—not someone selling counterfeits under the same part numbers—they are as close to the originals as you’re likely to get.
Typically get them on e-bay. Lots of dealers selling wipers and filters --- spark plugs. I get them from a dealer in CA -- Im on the east coast -- only takes couple days. no tax and free ship
Sorry for the late response here, but I found this on eBay with free shipping for $29.99 each ($60 together)... just out of curiosity, is that worth it? I ask because the most I've ever spent on a pair of wipers is literally $30 (Bosch Icon's and RainX brands), which makes me wonder if I should just try another pair of Bosch Icons or RainX again...
I called around dealers and a lot of them are asking for $80 for the two wipers (excluding tax!) That is bonkers for windshield wipers! I think I might just go ahead and try another pair of Bosch Icons...
It's around $40 (without shipping) here: Wiper & Washer Components for 2011 Toyota Prius | Toyota Parts The left and right item #5, the second ones, towards bottom of page. You'd need to put them in a basket, see what shipping there'd be though.
Thank you for the part numbers. I just ordered the above rubber wiper refills from FremontToyota.com for my 2011 Prius. It's $7.49 each. No shipping charges because I will do a Will Call, on my way to work
Hi Elektroingeniuer, again thank you very much for the front wiper part numbers, I just installed the refills, very easy I just noticed the rear wiper requires changing too. Can I trouble you to look up the part numbers?

Hi Elektroingenieur, Thank you for the rear wiper part numbers. I bought the refill (85214-0E050) from FremontToyota.com for $7.49. See picture below. I accidentally broke the side tab of the blade assembly. I super-glued it back. Let's hope it would stay, if not, I'll just buy the Blade Assembly (85242-47030: $16.49).
My Southern Oregon toyota dealer says they can special order 2010 OEM wiper "bows". They carry the refill inserts in stock for $10.00. My OEM skippped and I did not like them. I use Costco Michelin at $10.00 (8.00 on sale). The are easier to install than replacing the inserts. The passenger side wiper is a bit past the edge of the windshield at rest, but works perfectly in the rain.
