Thanks Javy for the info.
Mine are not worn out yet, but I really like the Valeo ones. I was just going to pick some because there is a good deal on tirerack & I'm ordering winter tires at the same time.

Even if you rarely use them, sunlight and ozone cause the rubber to deteriorate. Most experts recommend replacement once a year.

Wiper Assembly
'08 IS250
The wiper blade assy has four or five plastic pieces that run the length of it which snap together. I lost the end piece on the passenger side.. I can't find this part on-line..only the blades. Hopefully, I don't have to buy the whole wiper assy just to replace this piece of plastic.
Any suggestions?

What were you doing when you lost that piece?
If it just fell off i would take it back to the dealer and tell them it flew off. might be covered under warranty.

After I examined the assy again, there's only three plastic pieces...a long middle piece and a shorter piece on each end.
I don't know when the piece flew off. Could have been at the car-wash (most likely). I just figured it wouldn't be covered under warranty.
