    On my 2012 Prius...

    Posting this in case anyone finds it useful, because I searched here and only found references to other aftermarket replacement wiper blades. I was going to order a replacement Toyota OEM rear wiper blade from ebay, but I found this Proline 16-2 ($9.99) at my local PepBoys. The Proline wiper blade is almost identical to the Toyota wiper blade.

    I took the rubber wiper refill from the Proline blade and put on my Toyota wiper blade. Honestly I could have just put on the Proline wiper blade assembly and it would fit perfect too. There is a slight contour difference on the Proline wiper blade just below the hole where the arm attaches to the blade.

    Here is the picture of the Proline wiper blade on top of the Toyota wiper blade (in the middle). In this picture, I've already taken the wiper refill from the Proline wiper and put on the Toyota wiper blade.

    ..when this thing decides to let me add the image, I'll come back and edit the post.
