Link For RX Rear Wiper Blades & Other Wiper Blade Discusson
Wow...I guess I should have went with daily subscription rather than weekly!! As far as the rear wiper blade, the newest generation RX350 and RX450 take a special rear trico 16-A and the rest of the RX's take the special rear 14-A. Just go to that link and then punch in your exact m/m/y.

This is in fact how I discovered the trico neoforms several years back...I purchased a rear wiper blade and added them onto my rear blade order. I actually switched from the ICONS to the neoforms at that point. The icons were good but expensive. The neoforms IMHO are slightly better at a lower cost.

Someone also mentioned snow and ice...yes...the beam blades definitely are much better in winter since they don't pack with snow and ice and then stiffen-up.

In the end it sounds like nothing new and earth-moving has come out in the last year so I think I'll stick to what I know works. Thanks everyone!!

I bought the Icons when they were running the BOGO free. No harm there. Been on for 2 years now. But the RX is hardly used too.

I used to change them about every six months, but the Icons last well over a year, which more than justifies their higher price.

Quote: Been replacing the front OEM blades every 7500 miles while the one on the rear gets replaced at 15K due to its lack of use. Though, they are all routinely inspected and cleaned.
They are cheap enough, buying just the OEM refills, that I do not think it worth pushing it more than that which ends up being about once a year for the fronts and every two years on the rear. Car is in the garage much of the time when not being used, though not as often of late. During the rainy season here it can get intense so need to be able to rely on those wipers when needed.

PIAA....caveat emptor
Stick w/OEM or go w/Bosch Icons...they're really great.

went on a mission to find special rear wiper blade for one of my 3 vehicles. Couldn't find them at any stores in my area. Wipers123 online had them in stock that fit exactly. At the same time picked up some one-piece wipers on the front and they also work well – all of the above were pleasant surprises I’ve been happy with.

Was mainly answering about the rear Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blade 14" (14-A) blades which seem to be the only one available for the rear @ $12 plus shipping.
