Stupid question.... Main wiper blade

[Southshore26]

Where can I find a replacement? The ones listed at the local auto parts store don't seem to be correct.

What size is it listed?

I've seen 30 inches. But why don't you measure yours?

I have been getting the replacement rubber pieces from the dealer for a fraction of the cost of what any auto parts store wants. Last time, the total was around $15 for the front and rear.

IIRC the book at Auto Zone showed 26 inches but that was short.

26/28 is pretty much the biggest out there.
26 is what is on my 07 sedan.

28" at Costco

I've checked my U.K. spec 2014 Yaris. The single blade length is 28 inches. I doubt the U.S. spec. Yaris has a different size, maybe a different fitting and orientation (for L.H. drive) though.
If it's of any use, this is the part number (U.K. R.H. drive) 85212-0(zero)D10(zero)2. Taken from my spare blade

I have not needed to replace any of my blades, but knowing it might be difficult to find anything at generic auto parts stores, I shall probably just go with my dealer since I know they have what I need. I might could save a few pennies with lots of research and driving around, but the dealership is so much less hassle.

Most auto places will sell 28" wipers. I know my local Walmart do...

But I still hang on my original wipers for when I decide to get inserts from the dealer...

[Southshore26]

Never in all my years have I gone to a dealership for a wiper blade. LOL Didn't even know they sold them.

I'll see about the insert. Getting a 28 inch blade isn't a problem but they've got some different attachment setup rather than a normal one.

autozone.com the local store ALWAYS has them!

The dealer is the only place you can get every part of your car for sure and you didn't think they sold wiper blades?

[mr_miles]

The dealer carries shorter wiper blades than what came on the car, actually....I've checked three dealers here and they only carry 28 inch blades, and the factory one (on mine at least) measured to be 30 inches. An employee at one recommended I try a Mercedes dealer as they have some cars with single blades, and he suspected they might have a 30 inch blade lol.

That's the only downfall to having a single massive front blade. apparently a hard item to find! (in the right size at least)

Oh I don't doubt they sell them... I'm just not going to pay the ridiculous markup for them that they would inevitably charge.

To get a replacement that size, you probably have to go to the stealership.

I bought a Bosch beam-type blade...18 inches, much shorter than stock. Of course it didn't fit without a LOT of jiggering...the plastic cap that's to go over the hook, that pivots upward...has to be popped off. It's a snap fit; gently pry it apart and off it is. THEN you can put the hook in the receiver; and THEN you have to put that cap back on, same way...snap it over. It's a bit of a pain but those are good blades.

I wanted a shorter blade because a blade too wide, can lift up at highway speeds. The blade gives enough coverage for me to see well.
