- This video will show you how to do it yourself Just buy your own rubber inserts using the existing wiper blade arm. MAKE SURE THE BLADE IS WET IT WILL MAKE IT MUCH FASTER TO REPLACE!
This will save you money. If it saves you money please give it a thumbs up. 👍
This should work on 4th generation Prius Prius prime models. And probably the regular prius as well.
If you have any questions let me know leave comments below. Hope it helps you all.
I also made videos on how to replace the spark plugs and transmission fluid so check those out as well!
Thanks for this ! I was trying to remove the ends when you just yank the insert out !
After 3 thousand videos showing me how to replace the whole blade, NOT THE INSERT / REFILL !
Thank you thank you thank you.
3 minute job when you know how !
I’m glad it helped you out!
this helped so much as i kept forcefully shoving it in i put it in gently like you and it worked like a charm. Thank you, as coming from a guy who uses brute force with everything.
Glad I can help! It’s even easier if you actually get it wet with water first.
I bought the inserts a few months ago and couldn't figure out how to remove the old one. Today after watching your video, it took me less than 2 minutes to replace both. Thanks a lot.
I am glad it helped you!
Same! Lol stumped by wiper blades 😵🤐
Thanks! These inserts are $8.40 at my dealer’s parts department, as opposed to $24 for a whole arm at NAPPA. I remember just changing the blades in the 80s and 90s, then they switched to purchasing the whole arm every time. I like not wasting material when you don’t have to!
The OEM arm is good quality as well. Much better than some of the aftermarket’s! It helps to spray or water down the rubber insert so it slides into the channels easier
Thank you so much . I was getting ready to disassemble the whole damn arm. lol
Yeah, it was confusing at first! I’m glad my video helped you out. Don’t forget to like and subscribe it helps me out a lot!
Worked perfectly for my 2020 Prius Prime. Best vid available - thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
I didn't have time to do the inserts but I did save my OEM wipers. So next time I need to change wipers I will already have the OEM with new inserts. Thanks for the video it was very helpful.
Definitely reuse them! Also, it helps a lot to get it wet before you insert the refills. Thanks for watching!
As my friends put it, I’m more of a book guy than a screwdriver guy. Pretty simple tasks can baffle me, and I’m not alone in that. Videos like yours are really helpful.
I’ve got lots of videos on maintaining and fixing a Prius so check those out too and subscribe if you haven’t done so :)
Glad to help you out!
Just put in 2 front wipers in prius 2020 and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the video.
Glad I could help! Please be sure to like and subscribe if you haven’t done so, it would help me a lot!
This was very helpful for replacing the driver blade on my 2018 Prius Prime. Thank you so much.
I’m glad I was able to help you! Please don’t forget to subscribe, it really helps me out :-)
bought 2 blads from NAPA p/n 6016fz, 6028fz 100% compatible with the arms
Thanks so much, worked as advertised on a 2018
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Oh and sorry to be that guy but access means a way of gaining entry as in I gained access to the vehicle by opening the door. excess means left over as in there is excess wiper blade that you can push into the wiper arm. Keep making the videos.
Yeah I realized it after I posted it. Lol.
Thanks for posting this video with part numbers. I wasted well over an hour at NAPA, Advanced Auto and O'Reilly's where the staffs were totally CLUELESS. Why Toyota went with this proprietary blade system is a mystery. The local Toyota dealer was also clueless telling me they ONLY stock "aftermarket" wiper blades and could NOT get me OEM parts.
You’re welcome!
Holy smokes! A Toyota dealer couldn’t replace your wiper blades? That’s nuts.
I was stranded on the side of the highway and you seriously made my life easier when the rain came and I couldn't drive any further because they don't sell these wiper blades in store. I ended up taking the blade insert and threading it like you did.
Glad you made it back safe! I wish Toyota would make the replacement parts more common.
thank you
You’re welcome! Please subscribe it really helps me out. I still have the Prius and will keep updating more content in the future.
This video is exactly what I needed! Showing the part numbers at the beginning was a nice touch. Your Prime is even the same color as mine :)
Glad you found it useful! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe it Helps me make more videos for you all.
Thank you so much, very clear and helpful
You’re very welcome!
Thank u. U don't HAVE a rear wiper. My 2019 Limited DOES. My wipers are 4yrs old, and windshield's were fine, but rear was ripped so I replaced all of them. Rear is same length as passenger BUT built different. U have to reinstall 2 metal pieces that are length of wiper. So look closely. Got them at dealer & got correct parts. 👍✊🖖🇺🇸
Dude! Thanks for sharing this. I went to AutoZone and O'Reilly and big fail on replacements. Got the rubber dillys from Toyo and Thanks for the install vid. Appreciate it!
I’m glad it helped out!. Just trying to share the knowledge on UA-cam university!
Thanks so much! Thought I would not be able to do it but very simple following your video! Amazing!
I’m glad I could help you! I made a whole bunch of other videos on the Prius prime maintenance as well. So if you haven’t done, so, please subscribe and give me a 👍!
Thank you worked for me on 2016 prius.
Glad it helped you!
Thank you for this. I didn’t realize you could buy new inserts, so I just ordered new wipers. They came without installation instructions! Your video helped. I join the others in condemning Toyota for using proprietary wipers. I wanted to have the wipers replaced during an oil change. Easy, right? Nope. None of their universal wipers would fit.
Yes, I do hope they change and redesign the windshield wipers, so that we can use more universal types!
Well done. I have replacement inserts on order and your instructions should help in getting those installed without too much trouble. Thanks!
Glad it makes your life easier! Don’t forget a thumbs up it helps me tremendously!
Also if you get the new wipers wet it slides on much easier as well!
I was looking for a release-tab on the ends of the wipers like I'd seen on my older cars, to slide the blade-inserts out with, and couldn't figure it out on my Prius (2016 Two Eco). Thanks for this vid, I learned that the ends don't release, but that it would be an easy job anyway. I haven't really touched much on my car in years, but managed to get this done in about a minute each.
Though, man, the prices have gone up. The rubber inserts were, despite being vastly different in size, both the same price: $13.19 each from the dealer
😱🤨
But, still, would've been more to replace the whole blade, and, more crap in a landfill. Glad to be able to avoid that.
Glad you found it helpful! Please subscribe if you haven’t done so it helps me out a lot!
Nice job, thanks!
Very useful! I just paid $120 for two wiper blades for my Range Rover and the tree hugger in me hates having to throw the old ones out. I wished I would have seen this video earlier. The cost is not a concern, but the fact that I have to throw out the whole wiper when I could have just replaced the rubber part.
Thanks for the info..i uses ur video in my toyota c-hr..they're the same wiper blade..
Thank you for the videos.
Sure glad i saw this frist.... was wondering if I had to take out the ends
Thank you!
Much cheaper than buying the entire blade assy.👍
can i take off the rubber part and then put the same one back in? half of the rubber part is loose on the blade
Thanks a ton for this video, and you saved me money.
I’m glad I can be a benefit to you! Make sure you subscribe I have lots of other videos on maintaining the Prius prime!
Thanks man 👍🏼
No problem 👍
Yeah, it's always hard to insert it the first time, even when it's still young. Unless you apply some lubricant......
Thanks for the part number.
Thanks!
You’re very welcome! Make sure you check out my other Prius videos and don’t forget to subscribe!
If you’re willing to replace the blade assembly Trico ExactFit and TricoUltra high-performance beam blade fit the arm connectors. The Prius Prime has the narrower 19mm slot the blade connector slides into which makes it hard to find compatible wiper blades.
Good know and thanks for sharing. I am testing out some brands to see what works well. Some are poorly made and vibrate when wiping. but I have not tried the trico yet! I will try those as well
Thank you... really helpful
You’re very welcome!
Could you please provide link to amazon for compatible refill
There’s parts numbers that you can buy OEM equivalent. On Amazon, I have also been able to buy the complete set just type in Prius prime windshield wipers.
Thanks.
👍
Instead of struggling with trying to get the ends in, just take a small eyeglass screwdriver and push it into the channel. I did both on my wife's car in about 10 mins. $29 for both at the dealer.
Also I got it wet with water and it slide in super fast as well! Thanks for extra tips!
Thank you for the video bro it was a paint in the butt figure it out
One small observation.....always lay the wiper arms carefully against the windshield....keeping them up like that , and an accidental tap.....they will go down and Crack your windshield......believe me....I KNOW !
Or lay your floor mats onto your windshield
God bless you
Thanks I hope you found this useful!
Do you have a part number for the replacement rubbers?
You will have to see the part number in the video. It is there.
Can anyone link these on Amazon?
How much for a pair of new rubbers?
Less then $8 each from
Www.Toyotapartsdeal.com plus shipping costs. Check it out
$8 but shipping is $9.48!!!
Dealership price is ok too if there is one nearby.
@@MarkfromLodiCA sucks that Toyota had to make the parts difficult to find. Wish they were more universal and cheaper.
I went to a Toyota dealer and used my Costco card to get 15% off from the list price but I forgot how much they are. Should be less than $10 each
Thanks for the videos.
Thank you!
