    What's the general consensus on wipers? Go with genuine Toyota ones? Or go aftermarket?

    Toyota ones would just be the rubber insert, aftermarket would be the whole wiper.

    You can go for either. I can get aftermarket inserts that last 24 to 30 months. I usually change them every second annual service.

    For some reason, the last set of inserts I bought was over double the price of the previous set.

    Decided to go with Toyota inserts. Can anyone confirm the part numbers.

    Last time I have purchased:
    • 8521444140 x 2
    • 8521447010 x 1
    But one of them is wrong, I forgot which one. Then subsequently purchased:
    • 8521446011
    Again, I forgot which one it was for.

    I can find 8521444140 and 8521446011, but not 8521447010. There is 8521447110, not sure if this is the revised part number.

    These parts don't have descriptions, would have been much easier if they are marked FL, FR, R, etc.

    All three of them have different lengths, so they are unique parts: 8521444140, 8521447010, 8521446011.
