Need to replace my wipers. Car is only 2 years old but yesterday I was driving to work and the sun was directly in my eyes, and the other drivers, and there was dust on my windshield so I hit the spray. Bad mistake. There are streaks that remain directly in my field of view until they evaporate. Literally almost crashed. So I need new wipers for my '15 Highlander. What are the best ones that fit and have no compromises?

The OEM refills would certainly fit but all will have compromises, e.g., price.
85214-0E151 - driver side
85214-0E140 - program side
85214-0E120 - rear window

I have these and they work well. I'm lazy and replace the whole wiper blade. You will need two different sizes.

I have installed Toyota OEM refill blades since new and they are the best IMO.
CDN$7.00 a piece and Toyota will install them at no extra charge during an oil/filter service, it is the best deal around. Check with your service dept.

I've used Toyota OEM refill blades for almost 20 years - no problems.

OEM windshield wiper refills

The OEM refills would certainly fit but all will have compromises, e.g., price.

I might go with the OEM just because I want to keep the OEM wiper blades. It's been almost 2 years since I had my '15 HL. The wipers are still working properly despite the northeast climate. I replaced the wiper blades (instead of buying the refills) on my last car because the coatings were peeling and rusted.

All you need to replace is the rubber insert, and it leaves the nice look of the OEM wiper...
Here is the size you need ....

Check where you live with your dealer. If its $7 like others have had it done for, just do that.
If you live in So Cal, you might want to get the inserts.
Wiper size (Ignore the California pricing)

Just to clarify those part numbers are for the refills, i.e. rubber only.

Trico - Wholesale closeout $1.57 on rockauto. (right side)

Anco - similar on the left $1.89.

You can check out various combinations and shipping charges. Wholesale closeouts come from a different warehouse. You can also select fancier ones. Beam style goes into the $5-7 range, so not as much advantage if you add up shipping.

I've found the OEM wiper blades doesn't last as long as they use to. I noticed for a period of 3 years I was replacing them every year so I tried the following after market brand that are pretty good.

Valeo 900293B Frameless ULTIMATE

Trico NeoForm - I had to replace 1 of my blades and it's lasted me 2 years so far...I have 1 of each on my car now.

+1 for Valeo

Also, replacing the wipers is only 1/2 the job...A good windshield sealant works great in lieu of wipers as long as the windshield is prepped well prior to applying the sealant...and your wipers will clean better and last longer if they are needed. Far too many people replace wipers when it's really the condition of the windshield that's the issue.

I first clean the windshield with Sprayway glass cleaner from Costco. It's my favorite glass cleaner and many professional tint installers use it as well.

Then, using more Sprayway as a lubricant, I use a clay bar or a Nanoskin sponge (Amazon). Either one works well to remove surface contaminates. This step is KEY!

Then I apply Rain-x Original or Adam's Polishes Glass Sealant with a soft applicator sponge, let it haze, then buff with a dry microfiber towel.

For maintaining a clear windshield, I use a good glass cleaning towel (folded) and mist the towel moderately on one side with Sprayway and the mist the other side very lightly. I clean the window with the first side and then remove any streaks with the other side.
