Just grab the end of the rubber blade and stretch it out then pull it down the length of the blade. The metal strips will usually stay put but fall away then the rubber blade is removed. This will leave you with the wiper blade arm and the 'grips'. The replacement will be a single piece that will slide into the grips. | sam m (517) | ||

| 866467 | 2010-03-13 03:03:00 | Being a Toyota, beware of the built in computer chip malfunction unit that comes with all Toyota spare parts. This chip causes failures in the wiper system where, despite violent braking and turning off the ignition key, the wipers speed up to 160 wph (wipes per hour) and can lead to crashing the vehicle. Toyota are yet to release a fix for this problem and have just told affected customers to "keep a tight icehole" Ken ;) |

| 866474 | 2010-03-14 00:28:00 | That type of wiper rubber is the original factory part (with the stainless steel strips (x2) slotted into the rubber), to remove just pull the end of the rubber down below the right angle at either end and pull it out of the blade endwise, keep the metal strips and chuck the rest; to fit a new original part (if it's still available) is the reverse of that (you may need to cut the new rubber to length). Alternatively you could buy an accessory blade kit from Repco (Trev's link will help there), or fit an aftermarket rubber also from Repco (will be cheapest option, looks like you'll need a WIDE one (also come in narrow)), which has a clip on one end to retain it, and you cut the other end to length (probably help if you cut the right-angle end/s off the blade). (The blade is the metal (or plastic) part that retains/grips the rubber assembly :p ). |
