Default Rear Wiper

I figured out how to remove the old wiper on my 2004 RX-330, but the wiper blade I got at the parts store didn't fit. Do you have to buy one from Lexus specifically for this vehicle?

Typically you should only need the insert. OEM from Lexus is a good value for the money.

I got a replacement blade once, and it was too long. So I took the existing blade, seperated the worn out rubber from the steel frame, pulled out the new rubber I just bought, cut it to size, put it into the old frame, and then reinstalled it into the wiper arm.

I would not get too crazy working on it, though, as the RX350 rear wiper was designed mostly for show, not for cleaning the window!

OK. I guess I'll go by the Lexus dealer today and buy the wiper insert.
