What's the dealer charging for them?
Where's the best place to buy wiper inserts?
I need wiper inserts for all 3 wipers but the dealer prices are outrageous. Is there another place to purchase the inserts outside of the dealer?

how often should one change their wipers anyways?
Go To your local AUTO ZONE or NAPA, very reasonable prices and they WILL replace them for you (very easy to do but if you don't want to do it yourself). I tried both "framed and non-framed wiper blades" I like the framed blades better because it's more sturdy in wet snow, very little or no impact in rain. I change mine maybe every 2 yrs ... or sign of streaking whichever comes firstI need wiper inserts for all 3 wipers but the dealer prices are outrageous.

I just want the blade inserts for the OEM wipers. I don't want generic auto part store full wiper replacements, they look tacky to me. I don't believe they make aftermarket inserts but I could be wrong. I also wouldn't trust and auto part store employee to install it for me. I think I can handle that challenging task.Go To your local AUTO ZONE or NAPA, very reasonable prices and they WILL replace them for you (very easy to do but if you don't want to do it yourself).

Whenever you see them streaking and stop working effectively. I've had my front inserts for a year now and my rear is still original to the car. All are completely shot, likely due to using them on frozen windows.

Those are the full wipers. Just looking for inserts.
I guess the dealer is my only option.

There is nothing magic about wiper inserts. $36 for 2 pieces of rubber is insane.

watch this video, we all could do this
Here is an input from a Sr Polymer scientist who had spent 38 yrs in this field. They are all synthetic rubber, designed to take heat of summer and more importantly low winter temp... Material costs for a wiper blade is probably less than 50 cents. Don't spend more than $10 a blade, most of them are around $7-8... and replace every 2 yrs if needed

I normally get the full wiper.

I actually found another thread with a link to a site called mylexusparts.com
I was able to order all 3 OEM wiper inserts for $28 shipped. Much cheaper than the dealer.
I don't think OEM is better in performance, rubber is rubber. I just want to retain the OEM wiper assembly which looks best. I don't want Bosch, Rainx, etc. They just don't look right to me.
