    I am wanting to replace the wiper blades on my 2011 Prius that I bought about a year ago, but I am not sure if the wipers on it are OEM or not. I have been trying to find a good photo but I can't seem to find one.

    I have added a photo of one of my blades.

    Does anyone know if those are OEM? I'm planning on going to finally get the firmware update recall applied today, and hope to pick up some OEM wiper blade inserts.

    I recommend trico onyx or trico flex for the front and trico exact fit for the rear.

    When you go to have the firmware update, just ask at the dealership.
    They might even install for free.
    But they surely should be able to tell.

    Turns out they are OEM. The dang stealership wanted 5 bucks a piece for installation, but I think I can handle that!

    LG-LS980 ?

    $10? Not unreasonable.
