    Well my C turned two on saturday!

    And I just noticed my OEM rear wiper is starting to tear. I'm having a hard time finding one. I may have to order one from the stealership... Has anyone found a good place to get replacements?

    Autozone and major auto parts stores have direct replacements. It's made by a company named "Trico". Make sure you get the right part number, it should be listed in their parts catalog. Last I checked, they were around 10 bucks

    Worth checking the price at the dealer - others here have noted that it's comparable with wiper blade cost at auto stores.

    I had the front and rear wiper inserts replaced at a Toyota dealer just recently. I bought the inserts from their parts department and the service department replaced them free. I think the 3 inserts cost about $25.00.

    just search for "rear wiper". Trico makes the OEM ones for Toyota.

    The front ones are still good! It's been two years... The rear recently started to tear. Maybe I will just stop by at the Toyota dealer.
