This is how I change wiper blades.

I drive up to the auto parts store and select the replacement blades that I want. Pay for them.

Then ask the clerk to install them for me. The last time the clerk was a girl about a third my age. Did that bother me? Nope.

Yup, I verified there is a latch you need to flip open first.
@Ultramaroon was the only poster on this entire thread who actually knows how to change wiper blades.

It's pretty easy to keep the OEM wipers and just change the Toyota Sightline rubber inserts every year (slide out/slide in). I changed between the RainX, Peak, and Michellin wipers on our other SCION and found them not to last as long and the plastic retaining clips to be the weakest link (planned obsolescence).

YUS. Stock refills ftw. For whatever reason they last forever too.
