Rear Wiper saga
So I refuse to pay the $35-40 to replace the rear wiper blade from the dealer and it should be easy to do.
But
I can't seem to find the replacement blade at any parts store. And now that Sewell isn't online anymore i am lost
Any help on a replacement part or alternate would be great
Thanks!

What I did was, I bought the shortest Bosch wiper I can fit in it, then cut it to length and manually inserted it to the wiper frame. It is going to be a little too tight since it's not the correct one, and it seems Toyota designed it like that to make sure you'll buy theirs, but I was able to make it fit by pushing it in the "claws" with the help of tiny screwdrivers instead of inserting it from end to end. Don't forget to use either the OEM metal inserts or the Bosch one, whichever fits better, so that it's sturdy. Overall it cost $12.

Rain-x makes one, but the black plastic doesn't match the wiper arm. So I just took out the rubber wiper insert and replaced only that. Works good, looks great, and I think it was like $8

Okay guys, it's raining here in Socal and my GX rear wiper blade been rip for ages and finally decide to change it. Since I work at Toyota, I told my buddy who work in parts department to check the part number and see if he can cross reference it with any Toyota product. Luckily, he found it and save me money comparing to Lexus stealership. Go to any Toyota dealership and ask for part number 85214-0E050. My employee cost me $5.94 including tax. Replacing the blade is not that difficult either.
