I wouldn't get inserts other than a dealer. The inserts at auto parts stores may not fit properly. I called my local dealerships, and they were about $9 each. It was actually cheaper to order them, and pay shipping, from Sewell Lexus online (with the "CLUBLEXUS" discount code) then get them locally.

I had the Rain-X Blades, but they were over $20 each--not worth the $$.

My OEM wipers are streaking and bought a pair of those Rain-X Latitudes.

Can anyone tell me how to remove blades from the OEM wiper covers and put on the new blades I bought? I can't seem to find out how to remove the wipers from the wiper cover.

just picked up some Bosch Edge at AutoBarn.com for $20 shipped. I research the Bosch Icon but it did not have a good review.

I looked at Ebay and saw nothing I wanted.

And I could not find wiper blades in the Sewell website. Oh well!
