What rear wiper do you all like to use? I have a 2016. I replaced the rear last Sept with something I can't recall now (wasn't on Amazon so no order history) and it's junk.

I went with a Bosch from O’REILLY’s.

Badhobz,
I just came from Auto Zone where I was unable to find Bosh blades to fit my '21RX. The clerk said Lexus and Mercedes replacement blades have to have the OE designation on the package. The PIN and J-hook kind won't attach. Go figure.
Anyway I got out of there for the low-low price of $75 for two Rain-X, installed. Yes, I'm in California where it rains once every two years.
I hope this was helpful.

Try any variety of Tricos. I use their winter blades year-round. They have attachments to fit any style connection.

Default 2019 Question.....

I just bought a 2019 RX and it needs wiper refills. I know where to get them but I was wondering if anyone could tell me a quick and easy way to tell if the previous owners had ever swapped out the OEM blades with something from Wal-Mart, or something. I admit I haven't looked real close yet.

Thanks,

Randy

Don't see why it matters what the other guy put on. Just buy what you want, no?

Hi Randy,
I took some photos of the blades on my 2018 RX350. These are the original blades with the refills replaced once or twice.

This the blade attached to the arm.



These are the blades removed from the arms.

As always, you will get what you pay for. I buy Bosch blades.

Default Windshield wipers

When parking at the airport in winter I like to keep my wipers up and out from the glass however my 2016 RX does not allow for this to happen. Anyone have a fix for this? Are the wiper blades easy to change?

My 2018 manual explains how to set the wipers all the way up so they can be changed. What does your manual say?

don't know about setting them off of the glass, but changing the wiper blades is very easy.

I just change the inserts which is also very easy compared to many other vehicles (and much cheaper).
