Wiper Blades

Coming up on 3 years with the factory SightLine blades still on. Looking at getting new ones this fall and and was wondering first if there was any other blades that that are an improvement over the OEM SightLines?

 

PIAA silicone

 

The Toyota are highly rated. You can also just buy the rubber inserts for a good bit less than buying other blades.

 

I had just read read that on another site. I have been fairly happy with the OEMs even with the ice/snow in the Sierra range here.

 

Oem. Just replace the rubber

 

That's what she said.

 

My understanding is that the factory wipers are NOT Sightline. Sightline is what the use as a factory replacement at the dealer so they are not Toyota wipers. About 8 moths ago, the dealer offered to replace my wipers for free so I said sure why not? and then the nightmare began. The sightline were skipping horribly and were extremely loud. They replaced the wipers three times until about a month ago, they finally listened to me. I kept telling them that the issue was the Sightline wipers and that I never had any issues with the ones that came on my truck from the factory. They gave in and installed a brand new pair of the factory wipers and they could not believe how smooth and quiet they were. Going forward, I will stick with the factory wipers and will just be replacing the rubber inserts like others have suggested.

 

My OEM blades are still going strong at just over three years. In all my years of driving these are hands down the best wiper blades I've ever had. Will order a replacement set soon to have them on hand.

 

I use AERO wiper blades and they come with replacements . Ive tried all the top brands and so far these ones hold up . I live in the PNW on the Washington coast . We get plenty of rain most of the year and the AERO holds up the best here on the coast .

 

I bought 3 sets of OEM refills off eBay. They came from a dealer and I should be good for the life of the truck. 37k on originals so far.

I bought some OEM refill blades a few month ago. Haven't put them on yet, my original ones still have a while to go. Just wanted to have them ready when I decide to.

Below are Part numbers, at least for my 16. Don't think they would have changed over the different year models but double check.

 

Sight lines are bad. Oem blades are like $40 a pop. Do the rubber replacement @ 6.50 or whatnot as quoted above. They work best
