I had a wiper fail today and tear at the last 2 inches, I think I have OE blades still and would like to just buy the inserts but I'm unsure what I have is actually the stock assembly. Does anyone have a picture of the stock ones?

Pull the rubber out, if there’s a long thin stainless strip inside they are Toyota/Lexus. When you buy rubber inserts the metal strip gets re used.
Edit- I guess most brands probably use a metal strip inside the rubber
On Toyota wipers it’s visible on the side.

You can also purchase the NWB blades and OEM Lexus inserts. Much cheaper than buying the entire OEM blade. I did this recently and they work perfectly https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...l#post10022388
