Source for OEM blade inserts
Anyone have a good source for just the wiper blade inserts? I haven't found a local dealer or online source that has them in stock. Are BRZ inserts the same?

They stock them at my dealer and I'm pretty sure they are the same

Rain-X Latitude. You need a 20" and a 22" blade. I bought them at WalMart. |
Apologize if this is a dumb question (this is my first new car, my prior ones I bought the typical Bosch or RainX universal replacement blades in the right sizes and swapped them out).
I noticed my BRZ has some pretty fancy metal blades that look nice. When you say inserts, do you mean that the rubber strip separates from the metal blade and is replaced separately, so you keep the original blades and just replace the rubber strip as it wears out? I am not familiar with the mechanics of it, and I have been feeling like it would be wasteful to throw away the fancy metal blades and replace them with cheap universal ones from the auto parts store. So, if I understand it right, I can go to my Subaru dealership and buy just the rubber strip, and replace it in my existing blades? That'd be fantastic, I think the factory blades look very nice, and I've been impressed with how well they have held up (I used to get the higher-end $15-20 wiper blades and even those don't seem to last as long) |

Went to the Subaru dealer. Got the inserts for just $5.95 a piece!

Hey all, I just got a set of new wiper inserts from Toyota and wanted to let you know they come with the metal stabilizers as well. Here are the part numbers if you're interested.
(Left side part# SU00304213) (Right side part# SU00304214) |
Hmm interesting.
I just replaced the entire thing with a higher end frameless Bosch all weather blade. I feel they have better performance in freezing/ice/snow weather. The factory one lasted me just over 6 months (including winter driving) before I noticed degraded performance. I held onto the stock setup so I have the option of going back. They seem to be pretty solid quality. |
