Wiper Blade Replacement SOLUTION For Toyota Yaris

[jeff618]

Save Yourself Some Time: The Toyota Yaris' 14" passenger side replacement windshield wiper is very hard to find in the newer-style beam blades. The 12" rear is also very hard to find because its a special rear blade that fits the special rear arm.

After exhaustive research, I've only found one aftermarket set-up that works: 'Trico NeoForm Beam Blades' on the front (yes, they have a 14") and 'Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blade' on the rear (yes, it fits the special rear arm). All of the above come with step-by-step, illustrated removal and replacement instructions - easy install. Got the whole set-up online.

Was it really that hard to find a replacement set? I know most people don't buy wiper blades at the dealer but now I'm curious.

As a follow-up to my post above, I just got an email from wipers123.com and there's a $15 rebate on NeoForms (including the 14") through 5/15/10. They also sent me an additional $5 instant coupon "springreturningcustomer" not sure when it expires... I'm not ready to replace mine yet so take it if you want it!

Sorry...I wasn't subscribed to the thread.  If you stick with conventional, framed wiper blades you should have an easy time.  If you upgrade to frameless beam blades, then the only option right now is Trico NeoForm Beam Blades.  Every other brand goes down to 16" but no others go down to 14" which the Yaris requires.  Now that you know this, neither will be difficult!!  LOL
