    I use Rain X Latitude blades and replace them ea year around this time . I also clean my Window weekly with Invisible glass clean & repel glass cleaner

    I live in the High Desert where wiper blades take a beating from the intense hot temps

    That's why it's good to claybar your windshield a few times a year to remove containments then clean the windshield with denatured alcohol

    Using RainX windshield washer fluid makes it better. Water just beads off windshield and you don't even have to use your wipers as often which helps keep them lasting longer.

    One tip I'd recommend is when you get new blades, fill up the little tray that they come in, with 303. Itll make them last a lot longer.

    Toyota sells the rubber insert. You do NOT have to put on a new blade.... Refills are like $9.00CDN.... US would be 6-7 dollars each.

    I always go to the dealer. Wipers and warranty are all they're good for.

    The Costco near me used to carry Goodyear blades and they worked great. But they switched to Michelins a couple of years ago, so I guess I need to give them a try. I'm 2 years and 2 months in and they need replacing.

    On my previous 4runner, I had it in Indiana's winters and South Carolina summers. I preferred wipers with the rubber snow boot covering on the arm in Indiana, but in SC I just bought the cheapest replacements and replaced them every 10-12 months. Heat kills the rubber blade. I haven't tried the silicone, so it may perform much better in heat.
