Wiper Blade/Insert Application Guide
Has anyone seen the Lexus application guide for wiper blades and wiper inserts? Toyota has an accessible guide for this, but I can't seem to find the Lexus equivalent. A copy of the guides (or links) would be great!
***UPDATE***
Just to make something a wee bit clearer...I'm looking for the application guides for the wipers and inserts (and any other parts) that a DIY'er could consult for part numbers, not the "how-to" get it done. Toyota has a slew of application guide sheets for filters, wipers, you name it...I know Lexus kind of wants to hold that info close, but these app sheets probably hang in each of their garages for quick reference. The Lexus owners site has no references or links for them.

Just got a set of front refills at my local Toyota store. Parts guy took the blades off the RX, compared with the refills he had in stock, put them on and remounted the blades to the arms. Great service, under $20.00, tax in. Didn't have any rears in stock, but then, it doesn't get used that much so I am assuming it will last a while yet.

Just to make life easier, buy the front wipers arm with rubber and metal backing, using the hook style one, take out the arm of the old ones and install the new ones, as easy and simple. I have been using the goodyear one from costco, michelin is as good. The last i check goodyear one is $8 each. Forget about the rubber insert, it is very flimsy to handle.

But the nut is 10mm from what I am reading no? If it’s a 10mm head size then it will be a M6 thread pitch I am pretty sure.

It's really for shows. I would put it back on for daily driving. At shows allot of us try to remove the front and rear wiper for a cleaner look. It works well. But with the RX it's in the glass so it's kind of a pain to make it flush after removing the entire assembly. So I am putting a "plug" one might say, on it.

The whole piece is replaced, not only the rubber insert.

rear wiper replacement on a 2010 lexus rx 350
This wiper is hard to access. You need to turn car on and rear wiper on. Turn car off when wiper is in the down position. Pull the wiper arm up from rear window. It won't come up too far since the spoiler is in the way. Swing the blade away from the arm as far as it will go. Gently pull the blade off the arm. It should pop off. I used a michelin 16" replacement arm. It fit perfectly.
