Fun fact of the day: Seems Toyota went proprietary with wiper blades on the TNGA cars.

Good news is, apparently dealer blades are actually cheaper than the beam-style blades from auto parts stores. And, the stock blades are refillable, too, with even cheaper inserts.

(And, I found this out after buying blades from Autozone, attempting to install them, finding out that they didn’t have the right adapter for my car, and then the Autozone employee trying a couple different ones that appeared to... turns out Toyota actually made that proprietary.)

So, instead of paying $22-26 a blade for Bosch Icons, I’ll pay about $7 an insert for just the rubber.
