I think PIAA makes one of the best ones. . . man have you seen their prices for it? Holy moly. . . but yeah you don't need to ask this question because if you actually start looking for it everyone company has a guide to let you know which one is for your car

Personally I like the factory Toyota ones the best. I had Bosch's and one of them broke so I wouldn't recommend them. I wish it would rain here instead of snow. At least you guys get to keep your custom wheels on. :(

I like the OEM toyota ones. I've replaced mine 3 times and i've used the OEM toyota ones and never had a problem. I usaully replace these once a yr around the fall season.

I haven't replaced mine this yr yet but i will soon. I'm just going to stick tot he OEM toyota ones.

My moto is if you never had a problem with one product why change..

True, the OEM ones work fine. I recently purchased a set of Bosch and love them very much. They don't leave ANY streaks behind, don't rub on the windshield, and slide very smoothly. Great product.

We have 22" for driver, 21" for passenger I think. Or maybe the other way around.

I usually get a set thats the full blade thats around the cheapest. IMO, No matter how good a blade you get, a new blade will be better than a few month used blade, so Id rather change twice as often than get a blade that costs twice as much.

As soon as you see them wearing down, replace them, and theres no issue. Hell you can even keep a set in your trunk.

:D Yup... I'd say go with PIAA or just run the OEM wiper blades. LOL... Man, I had mine replaced only 3x for the life of the car. The OEM's are a bargin. 8 bucks for refills! how do you beat that. :wink:

I used to use Toyota ones, the BOSH ones IMO are just as good, but they seem to last longer (knocks on wood, year and half and going strong) - as soon as my other cars needs wipers, i'm going BOSH route! The sizing is 21 and 22 i believe.
Edit: One thing i wanted to ask some of you, when say a size of a wiper is not available (like 21 is always out) do you guys go up or down a size, i personally go down.

I don't know what the advantages of double wipers are, but I got them for shits and kicks. If you could find it from any manufacturer other than Redline, go for it... My right one exploded out of the blue one night (glad it happened when I wasn't using it AND able to replace it 2 days before a rain storm was coming).
