    In the past I saw how to change the Front and rear wiper blades but I can no longer find the thread. My rear wiper blade is coming apart so it must be time to change all of them if I can get directions.
    Thanks.

    I think this, from the Repair Manual. To grouse: why the heck is this not in the Owner's Manual?

    Thanks Mendel and your right, it is not in the owners manual.

    Interesting, I looked there and didn't see anything on WW blades.

    Talked to Mr. Google. Fronts:



    Rears:



    PSA: be really careful with the bare wiper arms, maybe put a rolled up towel on the windshields where they might land. Careful with screw drivers too... :whistle:

    My wiper blades don't look anything like the ones in NutsAboutBolts video. Perhaps Toyota upgraded them to frameless at one point. Mines are old style framed wiper blades.
    Any chance someone knows the part number of these frameless blade wiper arms?
    Hopefully they would fit on my 2010 Prius III.

    Part numbers are here:

    Wiper & Washer Components for 2010 Toyota Prius | Toyota Parts

    A little confusing: the top picture (and listings) is rear wiper, then down the page a second picture is for the fronts, and they're noted as right and left. Also, looks like just the rubber inserts are not available. The part no's for those are listed though.
