looking for a replacement. I looked on Sewell and only found the rubber insert. I need the whole wiper arm. I heard that the OEM one are good, any recommendation on aftermarket ones??

 

Really liking the Michelin blades: http://www.wiperoffer.com/wbinfo.htm

 

you can give sewell a call. i purchased my arms for a gs300 from them about 6 months back. to me they are cheaper to change especially if you maintenance them occasionally. i change about 2-4 pairs in a year depending on useage so it pays itself off.

 

yea, im in need of a change out since i changed the rubber inserts 7 months back but now its just not working as they are supposed to. How much did sewell sell them to you?

 

for the gs300 the LH arm was 31.04, the RH was 17.60.

 

I'm using Bosch Icon and they're working great

 

I have high praises with Bosch Icons as well.

 

bosch icon, michelin, same thing...

 

is it weird that my blades are perfect after almost 3 years of owning the car?

 

Nope. Just means you have a garage and don't drive your IS

 

Just got the OEM blades last week and installed them. THey looks a lot nicer now since its brand new

 

haha yeah i do lol. I am breaking 2 years on my car next month and just broke 12K mileage lol

 

I've used both the Bosch & Michelin frameless blades on previous vehicles with good results, although replacement was always pricey. Last pair I bought for my Tundra was the Michelins from Costco which were the cheapest I could find locally. But recently I had replaced the wiper blade inserts in my company vehicle with some el cheapo inserts at an auto parts chain store, and a month later one of the inserts started coming out of the wiper arm during a rainstorm and put a few scratches on my windshield.
