Hey All! Need some help. I went to a local car accessories place and had my rear wiper blades replaced, was in a hurry so I left without testing. Found out two days later it was a little long and almost got the thing stuck.

I measured he new blade and it was just 12in long. What gives? Are the new Ravs using 10in blades?

Yep. Just went out and measured mine at 10 inches.

I believe the rears need to be purchased from Toyota. I had the same problem on the 2010 I used to own.

I just emailed Rain-X asking them why there is no listing for 2013-2015 RAV4's

Same thing with ANCO, RockAuto, Trico, et al.
PIAA doesn't make inserts that are 10".

You should buy a 12 inch refill and cut it down to 10 inches.

Yup, looks like that is the way to do it!

Leonard, will check your links. Meantime, I received this today from the folks that make the Rain-X blades:

Thank you for contacting ITW Global Brands! Unfortunately your rear wiper is either a size we don’t currently offer or our wiper is not compatible with your rear wiper arm connector.

Please let us know if there is something else that we can help you with, and we would be happy to assist you.

Here is what I found on Amazon with each of the four links you posted Leonard:

If you have frame call dealer and see if he has inserts, if not he can order. Easy to replace once you found out how. Get them for my 04 for about $4.00.

 

[whipaway]

Yes, I got the same results. Looks like you have to buy whatever refill you can and cut it down to 10" and install it manually.

i bought my rear wiper blade from walmart. it was the whole blade and not a refill.

But this is in the Generation 4 part of the forum, 2013-2015 models. Doesn't seem we are having the same luck as those with older models like your 2010.

 

[tomiswho]

Any new news, or are we still stuck with the dealer?

 

[whipaway]

Haven't been looking, my wipers are still fine, but if a Google search doesn't turn up anything, then just buy a good quality replacement blade and cut it down to fit.

Got the size 10A on Amazon and it fits perfectly

 

[gregeusa]

Yeah, lots of improvement since the original post in 2015 ha ha!!
