Wiper Blade Replacement
Hey guys,
It's looking like it's time to replace my wiper blades on my truck, but before I go and buy some new ones, I wanted to get some opinions from you guys on what you think works best for you.
Also from what i remember, the passenger side blade is shorter than the drivers' side. Is that right or no? Thanks for any help you guys can offer! (btw, this is a 91 4x4 truck)

Funny... I just replaced mine today!
On the '02 Tacoma both blades are the same size.
The OEM blades were something like $4 each so it isn't going to break my back and they work just fine

yeah, it would be great if i could just do the replacements, but since the previous owner got rid of the OEM blades, i have to buy new ones. It's only $24 for each of them though, so i might just end up getting new blades as well.

Monkey, see our Gear Review section.
I have tried many wipers out there, and nothing beats Toyota ones.
I too had to buy the new blade assemblies as the previous owner put on aftermarket ones, and of course the Toy refills will not fit aftermarket blades.

Ditto.
I like the bosh inserts. They are about $6 and work far better than OEM.

I bought the PIAA Carbon Fiber look ones from Perfomance Products. They weren't very expensive and they work AWESOME! They came with this stuff to wipe on your windshield and I don't know what it was but I've had it on there over a year and it still beads the water like a fresh coat of Rain X. This is after god knows how many carwashes, mud, and of course buckets and buckets of rain here in the UK.
