Wiper Blade Size

easiest thing to do is go to an auto parts store. the wiper refill rack has books denoting the correct refill for your car

 

26 in for driver side, 19 in for pass. side and 16 in for rear. Costco has Michelin
blades for $9.99 ea. You might have to order the rear wiper online. I can't find
it instore at Costco. I just happened to buy the rear at a Toyota dealer today for about $14.
You could also find them at Walmart, but probably not at the Costco price.
Or try an auto store as mentioned by bisco.

 

I've bought a few of those Costco Michelin wiper blades, and hate to say that every single one of them started making noise after a week or two....

If you can get a set from dealership online part store for around $20~$30, those are your best bet....
Just sharing my personal experience, and Costco will take them back if you are not satisfied with it..

The ones Toyota sells are the best. On my Florida cars, they last from two to four years. If you have the OEM wiper arms, you can get the blade inserts for about $10 or less each.

In fact, they are cheaper here. Genuine Toyota Windshield Wiper - Toyota Parts Deal
The arms are listed, too, if you don't have the originals. I've been replacing wiper blades for about 45 years now and never found any as good as the Toyota ones. (But I never tried OEM blades from other car makers, so they could be good, too.)

 

Based on your comments, I might try Toyota blades for the windshield next time.

 

I'm running an experiment now. In October, 2020 I put the Sightline brand on my wife's 2017 Prius. That's the mid tier blade Toyota dealers sell. A month later I put Toyota's OEM inserts in on my '17 Prime. They were a little more dear. I'll see which ones last longer. So far, they both act like new. Afaik, the ones I took off were the originals. Both were beginning to show lots of streaks.

 

Wait. Am I just supposed to replace the rubber insert on my rear wiper?!? Is that why the 16” wiper blade (Michelin I think?) wouldn’t fit on the mount/bracket or whatever you call arm that holds the rear wiper?! I ended up returning the wiper blade I bought and have been just rolling with the 2013 original for another year ‍♀️

 

I only replace the inserts on all three of the wipers. I did this when I had my 2010 and 2017 Prii and will do it on my 2022 Venza when the time comes. Swapping the inserts takes all of five minutes. I buy them at the dealerships parts department.

 

Perfect answer by @RRxing.

 

The aftermarket ones claim to be better, but require you to replace the entire wiper arm, and then you are stuck getting their refills going forward.

These are consumables. Just get the toyota oem ones and just replace just the rubber blades, they're about 7 bucks online. Most places guarantee fit if you enter your vehicle while making the order.

Get a 2nd set so you will won't procrastinate replacing them when they start deteriorating, which they will do pretty quickly in Florida.

Throw in a cabin filter too while you're doing this. Most people tend to forget about these.

I love the sightline wipers. The inserts are like $8 and they last for around 3-5 years. I like having the option to use parts stores in a pinch, but i would say general advice is never buy anything if you don't have to from a local parts store like oreilly etc...
Everything they sell is junk. Their wipers need to be replaced like every years which is bad.

Sightline is better than aftermarket in my opinion btw

 

For my 2013, I get them from Amazon.

 

Just replaced my set of wipers with Toyota Sightline. While purchasing the guy from Toyota parts told me that Sightline can not be refilled with inserts. Only the original one can.
Can you confirm that you are able to use inserts on both models?

Thank you beforehand

Update: Looks like this guy already answered my question in this thread.

I refill my sightlines. I did figure out this year that the old sightline wipers i had were not refillable so i had to get the new sightline ones. Only because the size of the refill wiper changed. But the parts desk guys were cool and gave me a new set for the price of the refills.
