i may be biased and also because i live in california, but i change my wipers once every 3-4 years and they seem to be fine. i use the lexus oem ones. they are like $10 each and i feel they are worth it.

 

Had anyone try the refill blade from Advance Auto Zone? It's about $8 for a pair. I think it's the same as OEM. I will try it when I replace my wiper blade next.

 

Rain-x Latitudes work great. They are pricey but worth it.

Been using them on wifes ES300 and my Ford van since they first came out.

Replace annually.

Wife loves them. I love them.

One of the few products I sold at my shop where customers actually made a special trip to stop by and say how great the wipers worked. Especially the customers that were hesitant to buy initially due to the price. When it was time to replace the following year there was no question as to what they wanted installed.


Havent needed to replace thw wipers on the 2011 yet.

at my job right now they changed the wipers on the filed cars to a rainx wiper, the flat ones and they have been working great. I keep forgetting to ask where they got them from. I would like to try them on my GS

 

I just put the RainX latitude wipers on my GS350 yesterday and they work great. Nice clean sweep--no residue or those annoying lines. I've had them before and never had any issues. They are a bit pricey--I think $17 a pop so if the $10 ones work I guess I'd go with those. Either way, slap on a little of the liquid rain-x and you're good to go. In fact, I drove almost 3/4 of the way across the country in an old jeep with broken windshield wipers--through downpours and the rain just beaded right off the glass. That stuff is great!
