Wiper Blade Refill Replacement
Does anyone have instructions for how to replace the wiper blade refills for a 2019 F Sport?
Mine has plastic clips on each end. I'm not sure how to take them off.

■ Raisingthewiperstotheservice positionWithin approximately 45 seconds of turning the engine switch off, move the
wiper lever to the mist position and hold it for approximately 2 seconds or more.
The wipers will move to the service position.

Maybe try replacing the entire blade which is what I've been doing. I use Trico OEM fit and they can be swapped out in about one minute for each side.

Thanks @hotwings
I saw that video also, but my wipers don't look like that for some reason.
Mine are enclosed with plastic ends that prevent the rubber refill from being removed.

If they are not OEM, you'll need to replace the entire blade as @mikemu30 suggest.

I just replaced mine with new refills earlier this year. IIRC, I had to use a bit of force to tug it out. I'm getting confused with our ES and my dad's RX. I remembered one of them had the little end pieces connected to the refill.

I'm guessing all of the Trico varieties install with the same simplicity - I use Trico ICE which are winter blades - I use them year round just in case we get a snowstorm in NJ in July

We have the same car model and I switched from the OEM Lexus wipers to Bosch Icon wipers last year. I just did my annual replacement last weekend and it took less that 10 minutes from start to finish. Just follow the video above and the instructions on how to put the wipers into service mode. I always do a deep cleaning of the windshield and put on a new coat of RainX whenever I replace my blades and have them up in service mode.

@scubapr They're OEM blades. The funny thing is that I've changed them before. I just can't remember how I did it.
Can you post a picture? Maybe someone can ID them and help.

When we first purchased our 2019 car, the OEM wipers had the end caps. I haven't replaced the just the wiper inserts in years, I just replace the whole blade. With as much rain as we have, I found the older wipers began to lose the "springiness" and didn't make good contact with the windshield, so I switched to replacing the entire blade going forward.
