Default Rear Windshield Wiper

I've read the manual for my '20 RX and it says to bring it to the dealer to be replaced. Has anyone replaced it on their own? If so, how did you do it?

I used part # 85214-0E050 and purchased directly from the dealer. Replace about every 4 years whether it needs it or not. Like Quantum says, it takes about 5 minutes.

I’ve bought the refills directly from my local Lexus dealership and I find it does not wipe completely clear. You can see the streak hazes. Do you guys have that problem?

I have never had any issues with the OEM refills.

Probably residue of some sort on the window.

A package of 4 for $7
here here
.

The streaks could be from dirt accumulation where the blade comes to rest under the rear spoiler.

The manual also says that I have to drink Lexus coffee and breath Lexus air.

Nope. I even cleaned both the wipers and the windshield.

When in doubt, try
.

You need to remove the arm to install the blade anyway.
