kenkay Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have a 2000 ES300... can you only purchase oem blades or inserts thru the dealer?... scoured the internet and could not find any sources for oems. Can you buy just the insert at the dealer or do you need to buy the whole blade? Is looking for Camry blades or inserts a viable option?

SW03ES Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The dealer sells just the inserts. Honestly the Lexus OEM blades are the best I've found. PIAA inserts will fit in the OEM housings, but I prefer the OEM blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler121 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 i have gone so much crap trying to find good wipers, i finally broke down and bought some oem and they are just out right the best. but im pretty sure the only way you can buy the blades are through the dealer.

Lexusfreak Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 The OE's are very good....I agree. The best I've ever used though has to be the Bosch ICON's. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mburnickas Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I still like my Trico's for this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler121 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 well the reason i got the oem was because not a single brand would conform to my windshield. I tried almost every brand including the Bosch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spalkin Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yep, go to the stealership and get just the rubbers. Easy to replace and cheap. Go to the Toyota stealer and save some money. They stock them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mburnickas Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yep, go to the stealership and get just the rubbers. That is what Trico's ones are (they have diff models) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stock them. Toyotas are not the same. I've tried them and I can absolutely tell the difference between the blades the Lexus dealer sells and the blades Toyota sells.

Tyler121 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 well i bought my wipers at the Lexus dealership...waited a week, when back up there to pick them up, and guess what it says on the side. Toyota OEM replacement. so i am assuming that the lexus and toyota wipers are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Oh of course. Everything made for the Lexus is made by Toyota, but the individual blades are very different. All Bosch blades aren't the same, all Trico blades aren't the same. I've used both, and the blades from Lexus wipe cleaner, operate more quietly, and last longer.
