    The same shit everyone else has.

    I’ve been using the same set for 2 years now. Just clean them occasionally beyond what you do when you wash your truck.

    Wipe the rubber down with rubbing alcohol and paper towel or microfiber. This’ll clean the robber and make it supple again. Sure as hell beats throwing 40$ worth of wiper blades away.

    I saw a video a while back that showed them soaking their wipers in some kind of aircraft grade stuff for rubber. Made them last for years.

    I am not sure what the problem is, I have a 2nd Gen (2009) & I really don't see the problem, of course there are many different sizes of cups, here I have a normal size Yeti & a larger (?) works well (however, as everyone knows the 2009 is the best of the 2nd Gen)

    I chunked the rubber cup holders on my 2013 and ordered one of these and solved my problem. Toyota screwed up when they went to the rubber inserts.

    The 2.5 gens have 2 rubber cup holders there instead of that style. Nearly any cup I put in them ends up pulling out the cup holder when I grab my cup.

    Ya, I seen the pictures of those rubber things, I am not sure why Toyota or any company changes something that works to something that doesn't. I am pretty happy with mine. & I have a bunch (I gotta count them) I like that. we recently purchase a new Nissan Murano a nice vehicle but lacking in the cup holder dept.
