Windshield Wiper Blades

jrh · 10-22-2009, 02:50 PM

I have a '91 turbo with the screw-on type wiper blades. I need to replace them. Is there a blade refill kit I can buy? Do I need to replace the entire blade or can I just buy the rubber wiper itself?

I'd be interested to hear how others have dealt with this. I've heard that some refill kits come with hook style adapter...

It rains a lot where I'm at, so I imagine I will be replacing often.

I have had a bitch of a time finding inserts, last time I went through 3 parts stores before finding the "old school inserts" at a NAPA.

I try and stick with them so I can retain the "spoiler" on the wiper arm... going 100+ in the wet on track with the wipers not on the glass isn't fun

If they are factory wiper blades, you can get the inserts themselves from Toyota.
