So i have an 08 Toyota Yaris hatchback and just need the front wiper blades replaced. where should i go for a good deal for decent blades? how much does the dealer charge?
i have to get an oil change tomorrow for my 10k service and just want to know if i should get them there or go to walmart?
what size are they?
thanks!
and of course are they easy to put on????

This is what I have, never any problem and love the clear view while driving in the rain.

The stock sizes are:
Driver's side = 26"
Passenger side = 14"
Rear = 12"
(I just measured them)
That chart shows the driver's side as only being 24"
Unfortunately, it is tough if not impossible to find the new blade-style blades under 16"

My guess is it is a typo on their end, but you are rightit is 26". Mine fit perfect with no issues on length.

slide off and slide on, super simple, (more like unclip and clip again) just be careful not to break or bend any metal in the process. Be gentle.

depends on how you want to go. I replaced the entire unit. But you can get replacement blades as well.

Here's something that might help you if you are going to remove it yourself rather than the boyfriend. Just read the instructions, even though it's simple, you should always take a look anyway.
