Cool SC300 Clean OEM Wiper Blade Upgrade

I've noticed how clean and seamless the wiper blades are on all the new Lexus models so I did some research to get my hands on some. I found out that there were no new Lexus models that had a 21" blade in this style so I found Toyota blades in the sizes and style I wanted.

The part numbers you need are:

85212-YZZ1F-TM ( 20" passenger side)
85212-YZZ1G-TM (21" driver side)

You can find these only at the Toyota Dealership and they will cost you around $20 each blade. You can purchase wiper insert refills for these blades when it's time to replace the inserts.

I am pretty happy with this upgrade, don't really like the Toyota logo on the blades but I had no choice. The old blades I had were outdated and looked tacky. You can also notice the difference when looking at the wiper blades when seated inside the car.

Perfect, I always get new wipers after a snowfall so I'll grab these in a month or so.

Nice find. I've got an annoying mid-windshield, driver's side streak of water whenever I use my wipers, even after replacing the blades with Costco's Goodyear blades. I suspect it's something on the windshield that I've never managed to fully remove, but it might be worth trying something OEM to see if that helps.

True, I like how the one piece blades look much better. I think RainX does that.

Do these blades conform to the curvature of the glass better than other blades? I've noticed that the past two pairs I've had on my SC have always kind of hung off a bit on the corners of the windshield and never work as well as I want them to, even with a waxed windshield. If they do, I need to grab a pair ASAP, ill nino is working it's magic over here right now .

I have this problem with my ES and aftermarket "beam" style blades. Pretty annoying, especially when the rain is coming down hard.

I might give these a try. I prefer the look of beam style blades but I do like being able to replace the inserts.

It's been raining here in AZ and these wipers work perfectly. They contour perfectly to the glass and I am not sure if it's in my head but these wiper blades seem to be quieter than the metal ones.

Looks great! I had to change my wipers the other day and found the TRICO FLEX at OReilly's Auto parts for about 15-16 bucks. They look similar to the newer Lexus frameless wipers and do a nice job performing the intended function as well.
