OEM Lexus wipers. I've had mine's for a while now, with FL weather beaming so hot, I have zero problems to date.

Agree OEM blades or inserts are best but if the factory blades have already been replaced, the Bosch Icon work well for aftermarket.

I use to always buy the Best wipers for my car, looked up a couple reviews one day. It was mentioned that most blades perform "almost" equally. Every since then I just buy the basic stuff, and now I save a pretty penny on cheaper blades. This goes along with my "awesome" $200 Optima battery, that only lasted 2 years...Good Luck!

oem blades are best, plus when its time to replace them, you can just get the insert for less than $20

Definitely OEM. I replace them every fall, but not the entire wipers, just the rubber inserts.

I get the PIAA wipers, they are the best wipers I've used to date and they last forever. My old car it lasted for 3+ years and on this one it's been almost 2 years and still good as new. Squeak and streak free I cannot say enough good things about them! Get them you will not be disappointed.

Good to know there's a decent aftermarket brand, I've been on the hunt for a while for my mother's van. I hate dropping by the autoparts store every few months for a new set

OEM are the best, but are manufactured by DENSO
Here are the codes DU-048L and DU-060L ( codes for complete wipers )

I've tried them all, OEM included. All work about the same. Just stay away from the silicone, those will ruin the glass surface. Stick with the regular rubber. Rainx work great if u get lots of hard rain.

I dont get enough hard rain here and idiots are driving so slow for the wind to blow the small droplets off the windshield. So rainx isnt so useful for me.

Idiots in MD, 2 drops of rain and they slowed from 55mpg to 10mph.

I don't use rain X, that stuff lasts maybe 3 months. I take it to the extreme....

Clay bar my windshield, then polish off, clean it, then drop some sealant on it, let it bake in the sun for a few days while I'm at school.....

I have no idea how far I've gotten since my 1st detail, but my car is still beading rain and water, the windshield included....

I want to detail the car again, even though it's still well protected.
