Hi All,

Does anyone know where I can buy decent quality windscreen wipers from? Or is this yet another "Lexus Dealer only" part that's going to cost me dearly?!

All advice is welcome.

Thanks,
Haylands

Hi

Persoanlly I don't think you can beat Bosch for good wipers, have always used them, they clear well, don't squeek or chatter and last well, you can get them in Halfords or off e-bay, did try some flat blade ones on my car, as I like the look but they squeek like hell so will be getting some more Bosch ones soon...

Wipers are probably like tyres..... everyone will have a different opinion..... whistling.gif

Don't bother with the dealer.
Get BOSCH blades. Local Halfords or similar or even Ebay have BOSCH blades/wipers at low prices.
If it doesn't state you car model then just measure the blades.

Here..... Bosch LS 400

If the link isn't working...... EBAY Item number: 270195796845

Goto a Toyota dealer and get the proper graphite coated refill, not the Optifit rubbish, they come in a long thin plastic bag with a red Toyota sticker with made in Japan written all over it and they cost about £4 each.

Well. I went mad and bought my wipers from the Lexus Stealer. Not cheap, but they are SILENT! Well worth it. And yes, they had Toyota part nos on.

Many thanks for all the advice. I've ordered some and look forward to being able to see again!
