Wiper blades for 2017 Prius V

I've never found anything that works better or even as well as Toyota OEM rubber inserts. I've even had damage to the rear hood lip of one our Lexus vehicles due to aftermarket blades being too "tall".

 

They'll straighten out just fine when you insert the supporting ribs into them and thread them into the blade holders. A few minutes in southern California heat might help too.

 

I buy the refills at the dealer ~$15.00 for a pair. I use them on our 2015 V & also used them on our
2011 & 2015 II's. I believe that all 3 cars took the same size, maybe not.

I found that they worked better and lasted longer than any aftermarket blades I have tried. They also work well
with ice and snow build up, so we don't have to buy winter blades.

 

How many miles have you got on the car? I'm just a little puzzled that you're needing new blades so soon.

 

Anderegg has had his 2017 Prius v since at least early 2017 per his past threads. How long do wiper blade inserts last in beautiful Vancouver?

Here in the central U.S., I replace all the wiper blade inserts in our vehicles with OEM inserts twice each year as part of regular vehicle maintenance - in Fall and again in Spring. I don't wait until until wiper inserts are obviously deteriorated and performing poorly which is usually somewhere between six months and one year after replacement.

I love Vancouver! My wife and I were walking in Stanley Park in 1995 when one of your local nutcases was riding his bicycle on the park path screaming "Superman's paralyzed! ... Superman's paralyzed!". My wife and I ended up meeting up with said young nutcase (a tugboat crewman) and his girlfriend at a bar just off Robson for drinks that evening.

 

I've never changed ours...

Yeah, I've got some comments. But honest to God, they're like new. Only 75K kms, and we're garage stored.

Hey, he was paralyzed. I remember that, thrown from a horse, sad day.

A bit of a seque:

I can tolerate a bit of streaking, however, I consider a good wiper a safety issue.
I tried all different brands of wiper blades over the years on different cars. I found that I liked the Anco
blades the best, and the Trico blades were not good. I didn't like the other brands either.

So when I got my 2011 Prius, I noticed that the blade was set up on an arm that was very compact,
and did away with the need for a snow blade. I went to the dealer and bought the refills, put them on
and they did the job. I had the 2011 and traded to a 2015 AFAIK I changed the refills once on each car and traded each
at ~ 50.000 miles.

a 2017 might be different, but I doubt it.

 

Anyone have the OEM part numbers for the Toyota wiper blade refills for the 2016 Prius v? Just got a used one and it could use a fresh set.

Ended up going with rubber wiper inserts from a Toyota Dealer. OEM numbers (at least for 2016, probably other years?) are: 85214-0E050, 85214-47061 and 85214-47051.

 

EDIT: The rear wiper (first one listed above) is 85214-12310. The one listed above is for the regular liftback as opposed to the v.

 

I'm using Valeo First Hybrid (set of 700mm and 350mm, P/N: 575834 and 575825), but I'm not sure if they are available in U.S.

 

I ordered these on Monday ... they came today ... I put them on earlier this evening. The driver-side took less than a minute; the passenger-side took 2 or 3. Advance AutoParts had them for $43. I got them from Rock Auto for $16.

Trico 16-260 NeoForm Wiper Blade with Teflon, 26 in (Pack of 1) ; ... $9.06
Trico 16-180 NeoForm Wiper Blade with Teflon, 18 in (Pack of 1) ; ... $6.89

Once again I can't figure out the love affair for having to buy parts from dealers. Rock Auto has all the 2017 Prius V Bosch brand wiper blades you could possibly want.
