    Are you using them? Did you get shorter ones to lighten snow load on them?

    I put Bosch Evolution on mine for this year. I'll let you know in March how well they worked.

    You don't need them if you use the newer type torsion blades.

    Have those on my Tundra. Not enough presure on edges. Had build ups of ice that I would have to stop for and remove from stock blade. In past I would use shorter blades to avoid fringe freeze/ice build up issue. Shorter blade will push less snow, putting less presure on wiper moter.

    I haven't purchased them, but Trico part numbers for the Prius are:
    26" one is 37-260
    18" one is 37-180

    The rear would require more (new arm as I understand it).

    Got Bosch blades 24"/ 17" Could not find 25". It leaves a little gap infront of passenger down low. probably going to use for winter and try to find a 25" next winter.
