Blades
Just buy the good blades at Walmart. And keep the metal Lexus fixture. And slide in the rubber piece.
Also if you want to save some money. Windshield blades are changed because they get dirty and start streaking. If you take some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. And wipe the blades down every couple of weeks. The blades will last a long time.
Ive changed mine once in the 4 years I have owned my RX.

From what I was advised, the wiper blades should be changed about every other season. If I recall it was after summer and the other is after winter. This way, after the extreme conditions, you will have a fresh set of blades because it during the extreme conditions, the blades life would drop.
As for the wiper blade edges not touching for the passenger; do you mean the very extreme edge? When I saw mine, it's just barely touching but is still able to wipe the edge as I can see the area is still being cleaned (my window is a bit dirty!!). Suspect the metal frame or the plastic which goes on top of it may need to be inspected if in fact the blade has no contact at the edge at all.
