Question How to get new wipers rubber fillings for my corolla?

Hi All,

So corolla comes with those toyota design wipers and it's impossible to replace them unless you buy them new from the dealer for $80! So does any one know where I could buy just the wipers rubber fillings that would fit the existing wiper frames?

I tried using rubber strips from standard rain-max wipers but apparently they don't bend on their own as much as the toyota oems so my wipers have blind spots on the outer edges.

Goe

Search under Jeff Lange.
Dealer sells the rubber insert only for C$8-10 as leanburn stated.
My OEM have been great for near 3 years now and still good.

Go to the dealer and say "I want to buy wiper inserts for my Corolla"...

Be firm with the dealer, unfortunately some dealers try and shaft you at the parts desk. Just be assertive and they will get you what you need without bending you over first.

Just remember, if that dealer wont, just go to another one.

I picked up a pair for $11 from my buddy at Toyota. I like keeping the OEM blades so I never have to wonder about which inserts I need to buy.
