    Tried measuring, but I know passenger side is 21", driver side is 22" (blade length). When I measured as best as I could, 1 arm is a 6mm claw, the other is 8mm.

    Anyone know for sure?

    Arms are good. I can get quality blade-only refills at NAPA, but can't find them anywhere else. All local dealer parts could do is give Toyota part #.

    TIA

    Found blade insert/refills at RockAuto - as low as $1.50 or so.

    IF and only if you have OEM wiper arms the following applies :

    Driver side is 22"/560mm blade length and the "claw" is 8mm wide.

    Passenger side is 21"/530mm blade length and the "claw" is 6mm wide.

    OEM generally has "NWB" stamped on the arm.

    I bought aftermarket Michelin at WalMart, good frame, bad rubber. These were both 8mm claw, worked fairly well with Trico replacement inserts, but am going back to OEM blade/arms and try that.

    The Walmart Superstore near me only has the full assemblies, they don't sell the rubber part only.

    $1.50 refill + $10.00 shipping = just replace the whole damn thing with something from Wallyworld. Besides stock blades suck.

    Try 8.58 total including shipping. Have had good luck with Trico inserts.
