How to change your Wiper Inserts on your Toyota

[@ramki83]

You saved me $. Thank you very much. Dealer asked for $127 to get this done. I purchased both the inserts from the dealer for $30 on 2013 Camry , watched this video and changed this myself in 20 mins(doing this first time). Thank you again for sharing this..

[@9ZERO6]

$128?? Never go back to that dealership. I have never heard of that much money to replave wiper blades on a Toyota.

[@dominicfong6341]

Replacing the inserts is a simple task in itself but doing it as speedy as you is an entirely different matter. Thank you so much for sharing your professional technique with us.

[@rizwanpatel9640]

took me nearly an hr for me to do it, it was frustrating

[@otis4349]

Me too. Such a simple thing. I get confused about which end goes where. Hope I did it right.

[@Tacosauce22]

I literally just did this right now because I learned it’s possible from AMD it’s super easy and fast took lest then five minutes the inserts were 11.99 each from my local dealer and Toyota quality we all know and love! Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge with us all. God bless 🙏🏼

[@msolis648]

Thank you! Most others only show how to replace the entire blade. Love that inserts are available...so much more affordable so I can do it more often. Thanks again!!!

[@ricardoseales6501]

I just ordered my original wiper blades from my Toyota dealership I'm tired of streaky windshield especially in bad weather .Your videos are extremely helpful in teaching people what to do .Thank you from Montreal Quebec Canada .

[@PaulPessa-dw7ku]

I bought my ES330 as a certified used car in August of 2007, with 20250 miles. Some time later needing new wipers I did as I always had and threw away the old ones not knowing that I could just replace the inserts. Seeing this video I bought new Lexus wiper blades along with 2 sets of spare inserts, amazingly smooth and quiet compared to what I have been using for the last 16 years and 150,00 miles. Until now I had never subscribed to any KZbin channel, Thanks AMD!

[@LozainAsakawa]

Thank you, as someone who has never had to do any car maintenance before this video was extremely helpful and broke the steps down in a really manageable way.

[@gamingnotacrime]

The mechanic i went to for WOF, said the Toyota INSIGHTs are not refillable.. got conned into buying cheap wiper blades off him. Later went to Toyota and got refills for my original blades. Looks so much better. Cheers for video!

[@fernandocornelis9397]

I just replaced my hybrid battery myself but needed help learning how to replace the insertes. Never have before, only the entire wiper. Awesome DIY video.

[@joeloesch1219]

Thanks! I watched carefully and replayed each section. Spent $26 and put in my inserts, instead of paying $20 extra for Toyota to install them, or $80 for new wipers.

[@carolrhoads949]

Cannot believe how easy and clear you made this for me! This was without a doubt the best “how to” video i have seen in some time! I am THRILLED to have my new wiper inserts installed, and the clean windshield is AMAZING! Thanks for not yakking endlessly about stuff we don’t want, or need, to know. So many people seem to need to hear their own voices, ugh. But not you! Nope, you gave us the facts we needed, the closeups and details that were helpful, and moved along smartly. Gosh, thanks so much, i so appreciate this vid! I have never left a comment about a vid till now. This is an emotional moment for me, new wiper inserts and all, bwahaahahahhahahaaa!

[@ralphbrailey]

The tried to sell me a set of wipers for $49.99 I got the Toyota refills for $20.00 online from another dealership thanks for the info saved some money the originals lasted 2018 to 2021

[@earnesttomjoseph]

Once while i changed the wipers, out of curiosity I disassembled it like you did. But i never knew the inserts comes by itself. So i used to replace the entire blade.

[@amy2brno2b]

You really have to look for them, don't you?! I almost replaced the entire thing, too, but finally ran across the rubber insert part and saved an unnecessary expense, yay.

[@Maurice181]

Thank you ! This is the most helpful video on how to do this. The other videos are too dark, or don't show "how to actually remove and replace" the wiper blade/insert. You rock.

[@stephanel.6724]

I forgot about the possibility to change the blades on OEM wipers! spent years trying different brands but nothing beats the OEM on so many cars, thanks for the great video! à

[@otis4349]

2020 Highlander XLE. $24 for the front inserts. The original inserts lasted 4 years. THX TCCN. You have turned me into a supporter of OEM parts.

[@onenikkione]

I had no idea that just the inserts were available - good to know.

[@SeanPopify]

Nissan discontinued their inserts and no one makes the side-mounted blades except as marketed by Nissan... I'm glad Toyota makes enough money on their cars that they still allow economical maintenance...

With your video tutorials help i just replaced my wiper blade inserts on my toyota rav4 hybrid 2019. Also i cleaned its hybrid filter Thank you so much Sir for all DIY Projects The original toyota wiper blade are far more reliable and clean best than the other products available at Walmart.

[@Blakecryderman7244]

@Muhammad Arshad I use silicone advantage Rain-X wipers on my old Toyota Matrix 2006. Best wipers I’ve ever used. & I’ve been around lots of wiper blades, conventional rubber ones, horrible graphite noise, O.E.M. Ones pretty good but not as good as silicone advantage wiper blades. I don’t care what anybody says, silicone advantage wiper blades work the best

[@adeel392]

@@Blakecryderman7244 I am gonna give it a try next time. I hope it’s easily available at Walmart

[@shareenbean]

Thank you! This is a great step-by-step on how to change out the replacement blade. Did it myself took less than five minutes. Awesome video!

[@TonyS606]

Never throw away your wiper blades (black plastic frame that holds the rubber refill) that come with the car from the factory. This goes for any brand vehicle. And make sure the dealer doesn't dispose of them either. Some dealers love to replace the entire piece because they can make a lot more money that way. You can get Anco refills but they aren't as good as OEM.

[@9ZERO6]

Truth. I have the original blades on my 2012 Honda. A set of inserts every year since new with zero issues.

[@jockrocks7392]

Thankyou my friend, very helpful. 👍

[@davidm1149]

I needed a simple demo to jog my memory (I'm used to old cars) on how to replace wipers. You were energetic, fast, and simple. Thank You!

[@mariamaldonado9268]

I just bought and replace the windshield wipers for a Boscho ones. Then I just found your video and learned that just changing the inserts was good enough.

[@senshi6884]

:D Same here! It was tricky to remove the original wiper and was surprised when the whole thing showed 4 separate pieces. The Bosch one looks cheap in comparison, next time I will buy the Toyota blade and reinstall the original wiper.

[@TheSanju400]

Just installed mine following your directions on dealership parking lot. Thank you.

[@613.Rooster]

Thank you! In the good ol days the Toyota parts guys would always pop them in for me. Today, I had to do it myself. They just handed me the refills and took my money. So again, thanks.

[@spedison_3824]

the original OEM wiper blades that have come on most new toyota's (J jook style) since the mid 00's are called "DENSO DESIGNER" and are available on rockauto and amazon. the wiper blades they sell at the dealer "sightline" look simular but are different and cheaper quality and DO NOT have a replaceable insert. the rubber insert refills for the OEM denso blades are available at your local toyota dealer parts counter or any toyota parts dealer website. personally these are the best wiper blades i have ever used, being able to swap the inserts is a nice cost savings

[@maxwell3637]

Ty CCN. I was able to change the inserts fast and easily with these instructions for very low diy cost... my 16" was coming apart so wanted to avoid a potential damage to the windshield !

[@topfuelfan]

Bonus tip..Wipe your inserts with 303 and refresh and clean them regularly. You can also use rainX on the blades to clean them and they will work beautifully 👌

[@ErichGuidi]

What’s that 303? Amazon link? Tkss

[@thepokerpilotapp]

Or use RV Care slide out silicone lube

[@delerium75]

Thank you for having this video out there! The inserts are cheap compared to new, full blades and this video was super easy to understand and follow!

[@terryroe2023]

I had no idea how easy this was. Excellent video

[@allynnichols8460]

Thank you so much. I had some trouble sliding the inserts out, but got them out and reinstalled to practice. I just spent $$$ getting the usual wiper replacements and saw your video after. Oh well. I’ll get the inserts, save the blades for another rainy day. Good lesson…Ty!

[@Leslie-vz3dr]

I did it myself a couple years ago but today I had trouble sliding them out.

[@normandfontaine5508]

Tank’s for this video, I have learned a lot. In past, I have tried to change that kind of wiper blade and it end up in the garbage! Not anymore, I will do your way! Be carefull when put back the wiper arm (without the wiper)on the windshild, it can easily brake the windshild if you go to hard! I put a bath towel under the wiper arm first,in case that the wiper arm slip in my hand. Sorry for my english writing.

[@flagmichael]

I like the towel idea!

[@jonathanarthur3580]

I know we’re going on 3 years, but I just looked back and used this today to do mine for the first time

I so enjoy how you explain things, you take the "how to" and make it a "can do". Thanks😀

[@salvaged_wretch]

Very useful. Thank you kind stranger. And yes, I’ve heard that about the original wipers being the best option for Toyota

[@VelezBiH]

Thank you - were well explained and shown! This is another reason i like Toyota, they give you option to replace the rubber on wiper blades and save money vs getting the whole wiper blade replaced. I bought passanger and driver side for 25$. And i am looking at other brands one wiper blade going from 30 to 40$! Save some bux and do this.

[@hondoman454]

Thank you for the video! It came in handy as my 2014 prius' wipers were just starting to streak this winter. They were the original wipers with 7.5 years and 60k miles of use. Like you, I don't neglect changing these out, but I surely would not recommend changing these out every 6-12 months as that is just not usually needed. Mine were streak free until the last month. By the way, on my other prius I am using Bosch Icons as the prior owner threw the oem wipers in the trash and put on cheap aftermarket wiper arms and blades. The Icons I replaced them with are now 4 years old and rival the new wiper inserts just installed on my other prius. However, I am going to replace them eventually with the oem inserts and wiper arm assembly as Bosch has gone up in price to over $50 for both blades, the same price as what I can buy the whole oem assembly for. After that, the inserts are about $25 per pair, just half the cost of new aftermarket wipers.

[@nikifamme2587]

Thank you so very much for your sharing this clip. Following your guidance I just replaced my new wiper rubber for my car very easy. 🤗 Cool👍👍👍

[@thinkertoo2995]

In my lifetime, I've changed wiper refills multiple times -----------ALL WERE DONE WRONG. THEY NEVER WORKED AGAIN. After THIS video, whalaaa ! ! ! Perfect. Could never have done it without watching this step by step install . Thank You so much. I'm so glad I kept my OEM blades on the shelf for years. Now I can actually reuse the original blades.

[@joesoika2628]

Great video on changing those replacement inserts especially if you never did it before. It is really simple once you see how it's done the correct way. Thank you this demonstration. Joe

[@AJ56]

For added safety I wrap a towel around the wiper arm until I get the new blades on. Stops any potential scuffs on the glass

[@daijoubu4529]

Glass is quite hard, you can't scuff it with the wiper blade unless there's like a piece of sand stuck to it

[@AJ56]

@ read what I wrote again, around the wiper arm, not the blades. You don’t want metal to glass contact.

[@garcanz]

Great video, very helpful as I had no idea I could just replace these with inserts. Each blade was about $7 from the official Toyota parts online-store with pick up at my local dealership. The rear window inserts are designed differently and don't have the lock feature built into the rubber, and are held in by lips at either end of the assembly. Best way I found was to start inserting at the middle clip (of 3), fully insert to one end, then slightly bend the insert to be able to get it into the opposite end's clip. If the clip slips out of the correct channel, you can gently wiggle and pull it back out.

[@joesoika2628]

Oh, and you are right about only using original Toyota parts on Toyota cars, the wiper blades are one of them. I changed them in the fall right before the winter season and in the spring after a hard winter.

Now I wonder about all my years of previous vehicles how many nice blades did I discard for no reason. Edit next day: for $10.99 each got both front wiper refills and boom, its done (after the drivers side was mis-sized and a return trip to dealer).

[@qNte-gz1rp]

After removing the blade from the arm, i usually put a thick cloth between the arm and windshield as a safety precaution after many crack windshield damages #shopdamage #nobueno😞

[@beefpho4205]

[@craigterlau2005]

This video is really excellent! I have a 2000 Tacoma 4WD, and I purchased new wiper refills from my Toyota dealer. 85214-YZZD4-TM (B425) The instructions that come with these refills show that the curve direction of the support ribs is different for the driver's side and the passenger side, even though both sides use the same insert. The diagram shows the driver's side blade curving away from the windshielt, and the passenger side blade curving towards the windshield. I also notice that one of the blades has support ribs that are very slightly curved, and the other has support ribs that are more curved. The blade assemblies look identical, yet have different part numbers for driver and passenger sides. I think think the only diference is how curved the support ribs are. Anyway, its unclear which direction the ribs should curve, and which side gets the ribs with greater curve.
