I have also never tried any aftermarket wipers that dont eventually start skipping on the windshield., OEM never does.
the denso ones I posted are basically upgraded oem newer design looks a tad better but I think uses the same metal spring type design except it’s all covered up
FWIW, my Pacifica has the exact same wipers as my LS. Chrysler doesnt sell refills like Lexus does, so on the Pacifica forum I tell people to get replacements from Lexus which many have done.
I had nothing but Lexus wipers then changed to Rain-X big mistake the wipers spend more time off than on the windshield at speed over 50 mph. Lexus wipers may cost more but they always work for me at highway speed.
Honestly, I just run the basic Michelins that are about $7 at walmart and other stores. where I live wipers get the crap beat out of them, and the michelins do fine.
you're always going to read the hyped-up stuff on here, but I've treated wiper blades for what they are, consumables, for decades.

They totally are consumables, the OEM Lexus blades are cheap...I've tried several Michelin blades too and they all skipped and made noise and such.

Cheapest I can find is about $20 for the set, blades only... Something I need to do before winter really hits...
Maybe $4 was a little dramatic lol, but here one blade is for $9:

They're a hybrid design:
Yup looks exactly like that, oh do the old refills fit the new hybrid design. I guess the diff is really just the cover
ill have a look at the diagram and see if these or any other silicone ones available will fit. I’ll buy them together with other stuff I need to buy from the US and have them handy to change out when I need to.
I use Rain-X Silicone wipers, had them for almost a year and they still wipe like a brand new rubber set. Worth the price difference in my opinion.
Interesting, maybe worth a shot. I got my 2014 back in January and the first thing I did was change blades. Here we are in November and they need to be replaced again. If they can last longer, it might be worth a shot as long as I can replace the inserts.

Interesting, let us know what you find out, I'd have measure my blades to know what one would fit. I know one is a lot larger than the other. The blades will fit from 2007 to 2017...

I have tried PIAA’s silicone blades, they are very similar to the OEM Lexus blades and will fit in the OEM arms.
