Just get the stock Toyota rubber inserts for like $10 for both. They're pretty decent and a lot cheaper than changing the wipers.

Whoop out the ruler, measure it. I got RAIN-X Blades from Walmart for $8 each. The whole blade, not just the wiper refill.

No please, or thank you ...Not going to get very many responses when demanding like that ...Every good place that sells blades has a chart/book or something that tells you what your blade size is, or as snigma says don't be so lazy and get out the old ruler , just remember to measure the rubber blade size not the whole length of the wiper...Stay away from the triple blade wipers those two extra groves tend to trap and hold all kinds of crap and will scratch your windshield ..I found that lesson out the hard way and they are now in a land fill somewhere ...Good luck...Radd

On the 1989-1992 Corollas, the only wiper blades that work well are the genuine Toyota wiper blades. Toyota dealers have a book that will give the correct part number. The aftermarket ones that I have seen do not fit into the thin metal spline that the Toyota wiper arm uses with the blade. This encourages people to throw away the spline and the small metal clips that hold the end of the blades. They stick in an aftermarket refill and find it doesn't wipe well. Then they find that to use Toyota blades, they must buy a new wiper arm in order to get the spline and tabs. Perhaps that's why so many Corollas of this vintage have aftermarket wiper arms. (And that might not be a bad solution.)

So what about the 1994 and later Corollas? Did Toyota use a more GM-type wiper arm on them or did they keep their stubborn individuality?
