OEM wiper inserts 2007

I talked to a toyota mechanic today and he said The wiper arms I have just need the inserts(rubber) that they stock.

Are these any good or should I get aftermarket blades?

My long blade rubber at the tip is torn about 1'' at the end so I need to replace no question about it.

Yes, go with the OEM wiper refills. For less than the price of one aftermarket blade you will get Toyota quality refills for both sides. They last longer than most of the aftermarket junk too.

I just purchased OEM inserts for my Camry. They were very easy to change, just taking about 10 minutes to get the job done... and the wipers work perfectly now! If your blades are in good condition, inserts are the way to go.

My 3 local SoCal Toyota dealers wanted about $12 per insert. But, I found them online at a Toyota dealership in Arizona for $6 each. I was happy that one of the local dealers agreed to sell them for $6.25 each.
