Got the 3 blade wiper replacement kit. I can't figure out how to change the rear wiper. Book says, "Take to Dealer" , is that the only way?
No need to take to dealer. I used part number 85214-0E050 for the rear wiper insert on my 2017 RX. Just follow the videos above take your time and you will be just fine.
Thank you all! I just hate to start forcing things. I usually replace the whole wiper, is it worth the effort to just replace the rubber blade?
Thanks again,
Bill
If you purchased the whole wiper assembly then install it. Plenty of youtubes showing how to do it. Swiping out just the rubber insert is for do-it-yourself people.

in my neck woods every Lexus / Toyota dealer that sells the inserts will install them for free. I have been swapping the rubber insrts for over 15 years on my cars. No need to replace the perfectly good blade.

I never said there was a need replace a perfectly good blade. Did I?
in the information center, you can put the wipers in maintenance mode and they will deploy onto the windshield for changing. For the actual wipers, I used the BOSCH ICON Beam and they have been awesome
What Bosch icon adapter do I to install for the 21OE and 26OE blades? #2, #4 or #6?
I looked the OE blades and base on button size and length beyond the button. It looks like #4. Looking for confirmation.

Anyone tried the Bosch icon wiper blades? As per bosch fitment guide we need the 21OE and 26OE blades, does these fit good and comes with the correct attachments?
I use both of these Bosch ICON wiper blades year-round, and they are excellent. It was no surprise that the massively detailed evaluation of wiper blades on the Project Farm YouTube channel revealed the Bosch ICON was the highest-performing wiper blade tested. While three separate adapters are supplied with each blade, the default adapter that is already attached to each blade--the No. 2 adapter--fits perfectly on the 19 mm wide wiper arm tip of my 2018 RX 350. This quality fitment explains the #OE model number of each wiper blade.

My Bosch ICON blades are approaching four years of use with no streaking or noise with semi-annual cleaning and siliconizing. I seriously doubt OEM refills will ever even come close to this level of durability, and I don’t think too many forum members have had a measurably superior experience with other brands of wiper blades. What has been your experience with the products you have used?

I have used OEM inserts on virtually every car that I have owned and never had an issue with subpar performance of my wipers.
My current RX is almost six years old and I have replaced my inserts once maybe a year or two ago.
Rain on, Rain off.
Perhaps my standards are too low.
