Anyone know what the Toyota equivalent part numbers would be for our wiper blades? I recently moved and am no longer close to the Lexus dealer I was a regular at and there isnt one close by, but there are 2 Toyota dealerships nearby. Im sure the blades must be on other Toyotas as well, hoping to be able to just walk in with the part numbers handy.

It's a regular styler wiper blade nothing special no Ned to go to the dealer and pay out the nose

OEM rubber inserts do tend to be of much better quality than what we buy at the local Wally world, and generally dont cost all that much more either. Its one thing Ive learned over the years and I now keep OEM blades on all of my cars.

Then you buying wrong blades , oem isn't made by Toyota trico makes most oem blades . It's like saying I prefer Toyota spark plugs over those denso found at your local auto parts store

Muti007

Yes, Im aware Toyota doesnt make their own blades, but the refills they do sell as OEM tend to be of the highest quality. Do you know for certain that all blades made for the LS430 were made by Trico? You certain they werent made by Bosch? Maybe both? No, you dont know. If I buy OEM Im still buying a known quantity, one Ive had great experience with in the past and that didnt cost me much $$. If saving $4-5 is a big deal to you, by all means, go to Wal Mart and buy crap. I choose to buy OEM because my personal experience backs this decision up. I wasnt asking for your advice. If you dont have an answer, its easier to just not answer.

i agree with muti007 on this one.often even if trico or any other company makes parts for a auto company there are strict guide lines that have to be followed as per the auto company.

I like and use the Toyota/Lexus refills.As well as Honda OEM refills in the wife's CR-V.
The refills just seem to work well and last long.

jimbosr1

Who said i buy crap?BTW youre on a public forum be prepared to get opinions and advise on anything you post about, welcome to the interwebs!Good luck on your search for the best quality wiper blades!

Muti007

Same. Both of my LExuses get OEM Lexus/Toyota blades and my S2000 gets OEM Honda blades. Believe me, I know what Im doing with my cars having owned over 60 of them in my 38 years on this planet and where there is a better choice I make it. IF its snake oil, I dont buy it.

But if we cant all agree on that, thats cool too. YMMV.

Thank you friend.

Thank you sir

For the few bucks different from replacement blades, I always choose to go with OEM. Suggest you order them from Sewell or elsewhere. Just my opinion.

Muti007

$14.80 for the set from Sewell, but then almost $11 for shipping, lol. Fortunately my local Toyota dealer ha them in stock and the pair should run me under $16

As previously stated, OEM is the best quality and are very inexpensive, $4-7 each. The Lexus part number is the same as Toyota (RAV4, Scion, Sienna, FJ Cruiser). Toyota dealers should be able to order it in, if for some reason they don't have plenty in stock already.

L/S WIPER REFILL 85214-50100
RT/S WIPER REFILL 85214-50061

Jimbosr1 has the correct part numbers for the wiper inserts. Toyota's list price is $6.92 each. If you ask and the parts guy is friendly you may get a a discount at the local dealership. No matter what company make the wiper inserts for Toyota/Lexus, I have found them to work well and last a reasonable amount of time.

Just wanted to circle back and thank those of you that were so helpful. SO thank!! It turned out mom needed a new wiper for her Rav 4s rear window (I replaced her fronts this past winter) picked that up as well. All 3 ran me about $17. I aint complaining

BTW, have you noticed you really cant buy just the actual wiper/rubber refills anywhere anymore? Wherever you go, all the have are craptastic full replacements that replace your OEM wiper arm with a generic one just not designed for your car, though they will certainly click right onto your arms and thus"fit". I must be getting old because this really bothers me and I find myself saying things like "when I was younger, you could just buy the rubber insert, you didnt have to buy the whole damn thing. Now get off my lawn!!"
