Can buy just the rubber blade from either of the Autobacs store and pay a nominal sum for them to change it for you.

I will only change only when worn or damaged beyond maintenance.

 

Usually my first original set lasted at least 2.5 years.

 

Somehow replacement rubber inserts doesn't seem to fit or last as long as first original blades. Even getting back same brand.

 

Change the rubber not the frame. Orginal frames are good.

 

Framless wiper no choice lah but to change whole thing.

Oh so sorry, din realize that short-cut of sentence, and the meanings changed so much, so juicy.

My existing rubber inserts in use since Mar'2009. When it get jerky during operation, I usually moisten a cloth with plenty of window cleaner and gently slide along the wiping edge to remove the stubborn dirts. Also wipe the windscreen with the window cleaner. Somehow it work for a while until new layer of dirts stick to the rubber edge.

i got my grade A frameless rubber wiper at $12 a pair... every 2 months change to fresh blades!

I used to buy the rubber from stockist until I discovered that the cost of the rubber and the whole set of wipers do not make a lot of difference and from then onwards, I got the whole set of wipers from stockist and it was much easier to change.

I also find that it is usually either windscreen dirty, oily, or wiper dirty.

As I usually have those little pads of alcohol swabs with me, I use them when wipers are dirty.

For windscreen no choice clean up with normal window cleaner.

 

If wiper still very dirty, run wet fine sand paper along edges of blades a few times, to remove stubborn dirt and smooth out the edges.

 

They have made a littlle piece of plastics with stripes of sandpaper sticked on both sides for wiper cleaning. Saw it at Autob_cs.

 

Have tried the silicon wiper gel- No so good, as it leaves a layer of silicon on your winscreen, and sttract more dirt on windscreen and wiper.

In raining day, I found patches of silicon oil film on windscreenwhich wipers cannot sweep it away. So make windscreen more blur.

My car is Mitsubishi and my stockist is Min Ghee.

 

I have checked and you can get your Toyota parts from Min Ghee too.

Thank you.
