Rear wiper blade
What brand are you guys using? The install looks pretty easy, is it? Thanks.

You can get a 14" blade refill at Toyota or you can purchase a new Trico 14A to pop on. To work on the rear wiper you need to pop off the cap covering the arm at the pivot. Careful not to break it.

Thanks, Trico was 1 of many brands I was considering. I've ordered 1 today.

Using a PIAA SuperSilicone refill but I think it had to be modified a bit to fit.

I had PIAA on a former car and they were good. The Trico got good reviews here and elsewhere.

Has anyone attempted to run a slightly large blade on the rear window?

Members here have reported the Trico 16A fits as well without hitting anything. YMMV.

I use 16A and no issues. If you was to try 18A you would hit the top of the spoiler.

14A is sufficient but will look at 16A, if the price is the same.

Adding this, cause I wasn't familiar with this rear wiper setup on the RX330.

The key is the cover (base) that you need to pop out, then it is a piece of cake.
