    Regardless of WHO makes 'em, or where they're made, they are STILL OEM Toyota blades. Go be dead 501 times. Who gives a flip.

    You two girls (You and Kryleknowitall) aughtta go hang out and be miserable together. You'd make a cute couple.

    I purchased my taco in February of 2012 and I still have the original set of wiper blades. They work as good as the day I got them but I keep mind she is garage kept. I would definitely try another set of OEM before I go to the aftermarket ones. I have a commuter car that I have to change the wiper blades every 4 months but I park under a highway. I now buy the cheapest ones for that car because they only last a few weeks less than the "best" wiper blades.

    That's why I was so impressed with the OEM blades....I park outside....I drive a LOT of miles per year....I park next to a busy railroad track during work hours, lots of dust....And I'm one of those who just can't wait for the frost or ice to melt with the defrosters. I turn on the wipers and start spraying windshield washer fluid all over 'em....And THAT'S good on wiper blades....Yet I still got a year out of them. Prior to this, I ended up buying 2, 3, even 4 sets a year.

    Not angry nowadall, Quite the contrary. I have nothing to be angry about. And just because one of you wants to act like a dim-witted internet troll (And I'm going to give you and your buddy the benefit of the doubt and assume it IS an act...) That's YOUR character issue, not mine Sparky....While you THINK you are"stirring the pot", you might want to realize acting like an idiot is simply that....

    I have tried so many different brands and none work on my truck. I have put a brand new blade on and go drive in the rain and it chatters the first time I turn the wipers on. Just the drivers side though. I thought about replacing the wiper "arm". The arm that the wiper attaches to. It's $54 from the stealer. Maybe it's bent or something.

    The passenger side wiper arm on my Dodge 2500 had the same sort of issue. Come to find out it was bent slightly (twisted) that made the wiper blade run at too steep of an angle. I put the Spock grip on it one day and took some of the twist out of it, and it was pure joy after that.

    It's been doing it since I bought the truck.

    I have used the cheap anco brand and the $24 Michelin and rain x brands. They all skip or chatter but only on the way up.

    I fixed my wiper problem!!! Can't believe I hadn't tried this before. I just took a screwdriver and put it in the "hook" that the wiper locks on. Then I bent it slightly up towards the windshield. Works great now! It seems it was at the wrong angle all along. It wasn't at a right angle like the passenger side arm.
