The best choice for wipers is Toyota/Lexus OEM. With that said, I've had luck with Bosch in the past.

I'm pretty sure 22" and 21" wipers are needed for the front windshield. I'm not sure about the back of the top of my head.

IMO, the worse choice in this case would be OEM, the best choice is the Bosch. Also they are all plastic so they don't ice up in the winter. But still winter blades work best in the cold..no ice buildup.

you can get $2 and $3 blades at Rockauto that are pretty decent. I have the Anco's on my 2 lexus sedans and they are doing fine after a couple months.

I agree, these are solid blades for the price. I have a couple dozen in the garage.

Default Oem wiper blades from 2013 highlander

I replaced mine with oem wipers from 2013 highlander and it fits perfectly and looks so much different.

Here are the part numbers:
85222-0E040 - Left side
85212-53081 - Right side

Hope this helps. Cheers!
