Does anyone know where I can get rubber (i.e. not silicon) wipers to fit a GS300-2 (without buying Lexus ones)
Bosch don't make them

They're expensive Pete - tis all - I guess I may have to get some from Lexus if I can't find any others.
I may be able to transplant the rubbers out of a Bosch set onto mine
The PIAA ones I have are very good in the warm, but crap in the cold -

Didn't think you could buy Bosch rubbers, only the whole wiper.
Lexus ones should be around £7 each.

Thanks mate
I guess the next prob is gonn abe where to buy them from - I bought some Bosch ones from Halfords but they didn't fit (wrong adaptor) - the Bosch wipers that Halfords sell only come with a single adaptor

There was only one adaptor in the box (already attached to the blade) - deffo would not fit on the wiper arm

the bosch ones that RS sell usually come with a clutch of plastic clip adapters, but are the blades long enough? their longest with a spoiler is 550 (21.5inches)

My Lexus dealer seem to be pretty good when it comes to the small things... Asked parts for a wiper blade, they gave it me. Another time I asked for a new headlamp bulb, I asked how much "Nothing." they gave it me and fitted it. I lost the cover over my locking wheelnut, couldn't find any anywhere so resorted to my dealer, on the phone they just said pop down and we'll give you one we have plenty laying about the garage... it was waiting for me when I got there on the desk! I wish they were the same about servicing! But hey it's the small gestures that make the difference. I had bad experiences at other dealers. So what I'm saying is go to Lexus! And try a few different dealers so you get to know your favourite one who's nicest!
