    Does anyone have any preferences for replacement Prius C windshield wipers? I think I read the fronts are 28" and 14", and it appears the rear is 8" (although I might be wrong about that one). After nearly 4 years with my 2012 C it's about time to replace them.

    Rain-X Latitudes on my 2009 Gen II (…and also on my old 1993 Corolla DX Wagon). That and use the 0000 Steel-Wool then Rain-X (see youtube) treatment! Works perfectly!) - wipers hardly needed after that!!!

    I originally went with the 28/14in goodyears from Costco with a recommendation post from a forum member here. I don't remember if they had a C or a normal Prius, but the wipers had uneven pressure points leaving unwiped sections in medium rain. This was while on the freeway at ~60mph. Saying I was unhappy would be an understatement. I would recommend against them.
    I put in an order for the oem wiper blade refills and I'll see how that goes. I thought I'd share my experience if anyone was thinking about Costco wipers.
