hmm the OEM GS wipers arms are awesome though, theres that big spoiler on it to create enough down force to keep the wiper on the windshield on the hwys
ill try to mod the PIAA super silicon refills to work in the OEM arm, and try to take pics and do a DIY guide

i compared the piaa refill and the OEM refill closely...
the OEM refill is in between sizes for piaa... which means you'll have to buy teh longer piaa refill and trim it... 94070 is the part number to teh drivers side... you might also need a tiny clip to hold the the two metal inserts from sliding out... those come with every "G" series of wiper refill from toyota...
good luck...
it looks to be more work than it's worth... and there's nothing wrong with the OEM wiper refills... they fit perfectly, and wipe awesome...

so far...
no chatter
streak free wipe
quiet
feels just like new OEM refills... in 4 months, i should have a good idea whether these are really THAT good or not...
also, the piaa refills came with the 2 metal inserts that slide into the grooves of the rubbers... and these are notched to match the piaa insert, so you can't use the OEM metal inserts... i saved my old refills and metal inserts incase i ever wanted to go back to OEM...

Update
Just would like update u guys on my earlier post about the TripleEdge blade I bought. We just had a combo of snow, sleet, and freezing rain last week and the TripleEdge blade worked out well. The streaks and noise I heard when the wipers were on came from the blade on the passenger side which I will be changing with a new TripleEdge during the week.

I replaced the wipers on my 97 LS with these and every time it rains, I smile at the clarity of my windscreen as the wipers wipe away
....kind of weird but these Bosch wipers are just amazing. Worth every penny IMO.
