14’-21’ Toyota Tundra Windshield wiper install-using adapters!

[@kirbymorris2253]

I have never had to spend so much time changing wiper blades. The “IKEA instructions”they give you useless. Thanks for the video, it really helped.

[@kccreations5945]

Hahaha that’s a great way to explain it! Glad I could help!

[@perfectpete1]

Very helpful! Couldn't get the fitting off the new wiper and still had to pry it off. Nobody had a good view of this until I found your video. The directions were terrible. You probably also saved me time trying to fit it on the arms. Thanks man!

[@kccreations5945]

Haha I'm glad it helped you out! The directions were terrible that's for sure! Thanks for watching man!

[@phlywitegy]

Found your video after 15 minutes of trying on my own. Would have never thought to put the back in first. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@kccreations5945]

Happy to help! It’s confusing!

[@sooo1201]

For some reason, putting the front in first helped me😮

Thanks buddy! I could see you click the new blades into place but I get the idea without the visual. Appreciate it!

[@C-M-E]

Just did this a few weeks ago while doing headlight conversions, and let me tell you, if you have a significantly lifted truck but don't feel like going inside for a stepladder or installing scaffolding around your rig, this is a massive PITA! The Tundra is the only truck I've ever owned that actually needed the little adapters that normally end up in the recycling bin. I went with Trico silicone blades that were on sale, so let us hope they last longer than a year. Living in Texas, blades are often a season-based consumable that I replace in Spring and late Fall as temperature extremes reduce performance of wiper blades that much that it's necessary for a truck that lives outside.

[@kccreations5945]

Yeah it was a pain that's for sure! My dad lives in Texas and uses the PIAA Silicone wiper blades and has had them on for over 2.5 years and still going strong. They cost about $20 a blade but they've lasted way longer than non-silicone so maybe look into those next replacement!

[@C-M-E]

@@kccreations5945 Will do! I've tried the Bosch and about every other brand except the PIAA, and they all work for a time. What seems to happen on our vehicles since they're outside cars is the heat and the cold deform them against the base of the windscreen which eventually will get them streaking like crazy right about in your sightline about midway up where there's a bow in the rake of the windscreen. I also add the rain-x concentrate to our reservoirs which for all but the heaviest downpours, you can almost drive without wipers. Love that stuff and swear by it. It saved my life once when a wiper blade failed out on the interstate. Pulled over, wiped pure concentrate on the windscreen and we got to the next down, me albeit soaking wet, but alive! From then on, I religiously change wiper blades and keep a bottle of concentrate in my emergency supplies under the seat. My apologies for all the comments by the way, I'm on a binge of your channel as I get a kick out of seeing what other Tundra owners do. Your style and personality click, and I hope you keep up your channel!

[@kccreations5945]

@@C-M-E Yeah I understand that aspect of them being outside! I will say that my dad keeps his truck outside all the time as well so maybe they would last for you! That's a great idea to keep the rain-x in the emergency kit. I had a buddy whose wiper failed and that saved him too, so I need to do that. No worries on the comments! I really appreciate the feedback and the positive comments it means a lot!

[@fredrgv]

Thanks for posting this! I couldn’t figure it out on my own.

[@TheDingpud]

Thanks for the video...def helped. If anyone buys the Duralast Ceramic Blades, you have to use the second from the last example in the instructions. You'll remove the "C" adapter. It seems kind of crappy with how it goes on, but you make sure the 2 spring style pieces are depressed, then the front steel tab just gets caught on the end of the adapter. Kind of a dumb design, but seems to work. Make sure that both spring arms are engaged....I noticed one of mine didn't fully engage at first. I miss the old J hook style.

[@kccreations5945]

Glad it helped! Yeah I wish they were J Hooks as well!

[@bnaivar]

Many thanks. I would have been lost without this video.

[@kccreations5945]

Thank you for detailing how to get the original adapter off. I didn’t want to break it and couldn’t figure it out until you showed how! Thank you!

[@jeremeywright]

I just got these wipers from the parts store and they only have the j hook adapter. That’s stupid they don’t include adapters in the package everywhere. Guess i’ll have to return them.

[@toddh4617]

Do the Bosch wipers in your link come with the correct adapter? One of mine is broken.

[@rickm5853]

Great video thanks. These things suck. 1st snow of the season and wipers came off in the driveway. Anyone know if there’s a j hook style replacement arm for Tundra?

[@andy.hanway]

I have read and many have said that the factory oem wiper blades are best and last the longest. I have Anco and the are ok but my next set will be Toyota oem blades to see if everyone is right.

[@kccreations5945]

Let me know how they last for you! Mine were still pretty good but a little streaky and the truck has 23,000 miles so I figured it was time before winter

[@andy.hanway]

@@kccreations5945 my Anco wiper blades officially suck! I will be swapping them out with the Toyota sightline wiper blades here soon.

[@kccreations5945]

@@andy.hanway sorry to hear that man! Let me know how the Toyota ones are!

[@andy.hanway]

Just to update you since I said I would. I swapped out the old crappie Anco and went with OE Toyota sightline wiper blades. We now have the on my wife's 2015 Camry and my daughters 2004 Prius and my truck and they work AWESOME. These are the newer updated version.

[@pelon4374]

Awesome video I got the same one had a hard time but from your help thank you for the video 👍👍👍👍

[@shadowlord3611]

Very helpful thank you for doing this so we don’t spend an hour by ourselves

[@RM.....]

Another one of Toyota’s bright ideas. How to make changing wiper blades and actual job. Cuz the simple j hook or pin style is too easy I guess.

[@kccreations5945]

Right! Just make it a J-hook! I’ve never had to use any of the adapters before the tundra so it was new to me

[@lordofthechickens1374]

Holy crap THANK YOU!!!

[@kccreations5945]

No problem!

[@tundras4ever552]

I tried a few different brand wipers and I came back to the Toyota OEM wipers. They typically last me about 2 years which isn't bad in the Texas heat. Toyota sells two different wipers for every car, they sell the OEM factory wipers that came with your car and the cheaper Toyota SIGHTLINE which are pure crap. Just picked up a set online for 48 bucks. Part Numbers: 852120C030, 852220C030

[@kccreations5945]

Hey that’s good to know! Thanks for the advice!

[@khalidasseri4020]

u have shown everything right except the tricky part

[@kccreations5945]

What part is that?? Sorry

[@BIGBUBBADIESEL]

@@kccreations5945 You hooking the wiper into place on the back notches, then snapping the rest in place, was all out of frame, so it's not seen. Great instructions, but for some that very part is crucial to SEE (yes, you explained what you did which helps, but SEEING it happen, would be ideal). Mine popped off this am, -10C, ice and snow mess this morning and I simply could not get it back on. But thanks for the vid, 90% there for me.... (knowing which end of the wiper is the front vs back might be a key for me as well) Guess I might head over to Partsource and buy a new one and get THEM to install it. Cheers.

[@toddh4617]

I have to agree, I like your videos and the instruction is almost helpful. Would've been nice to see the install. Oh well...
