Costco teflon windshield wipers
Even though it's not listed on the spec sheet, the 18" fits like a glove on the 2nd gen 4runners and I would assume the 3rd gen trucks. I've been eyeing those things for a while now, and I got them for my corolla. I did a test fit on the 4runner and they work. Just a FYI if you want to try them. I have no idea if they work better than a normal wiper, I'll let you know after it rains here.

I bought a set of these PIAA Super SPORZA silicone wipers today and they work great.
My original ones were streaking after 1 year.

Teflon
I've had the teflon blades on since October. Best wiper I've ever seen. No pun intended
Right now I'm driving a rental 2004 Camry while my new long block makes the travel from Japan and it has the WORST wipers ever! This rental has like 5000 miles on it and while it's a comfy ride, it's also scary when the roadspray can't be cleared!

I have the teflon blades too I think I paid too much for them I bought them at advance auto parts after getting a new windsheild. They are great when it's warm out when it's cold they tend to harden more quickly than the rubber ones. They become rigid and don't conform to the windsheild curves. This poses a problem with winter driving and cleaning off salt spray on your windsheild in new england in extreme cold temperatures. It seems the passengers side tends to be the issue one that freezes the drivers side works somewhat but not really much.
I wouldn't recommend them where it gets below 0. I am sure they work well where it rains like the bay area. I am thinking of returning mine to get a set of winter rubber ones because it sucks when you can't see on the interstate in snowy cold weather. My 2 cents on them. Hope I am not being to harsh on them. I just don't think they should be labeled as a all season blade.

Im glad so many of you have been soo lucky! 3 months ago I bought a freakin expensive set of Bosch wipers. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!! They skip, and streak, and squeak. Worst of all, Bosch says the normal lifespan is only 1-2 months!
I think im gonna try some OEM wipers.
Best of luck!
