wiper blade replacement - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

The Celica I recntly bought has some make shift wipers on it, I think they are the Anco ones. They don't really fit correctly. Is there any ones that fit the arms for this car other than the oem's?
The whole blade is a bit pricey for the oem. Maybe the junk yard?

Most generic hardware store ones should work alright. Bosch and PIAA both have sizes to fit your car, but the OEM ones are still the best. Just buy the whole blade once, and replace the rubber squeegee with OEM squeegees as needed afterwards.

Went with the oem's. $25 for the front two and $25 for the rear. Now I'll just get the oem replacements as needed.
Let it rain.

probably a little late... but 3 dollar per replacement blade at autozone is a good deal. now, rainx your windshield~!

From now on I can just use the oem filler stuff which is reasonable and many on the forum think they are pretty good.
I used rainx years ago and It was amazing stuff. I remember driving 70 mph with out the wipers on and it was pouring down rain. Did not need them! The thing I did not like about it was that at night the GLARE was horrific when going under a street light or the such. I don't remember if that was when the windshield was wet or dry but that was why I stopped using it.
Thanks for the input.
