Replaced my original rear wiper blade today. Bought the refill from the dealer for a bit more than $5. Easy exchange and it works perfectly.

The 'just that' I referred to in post #19 is buying the blades myself and physically replacing them myself (as you did). Wow, just over 5 bucks is cheap for a Toyota dealership. According to Wikipedia, Florida doesn't have any emissions or safety inspections for passenger cars. Wow. I wish we (those of us in Texas) could avoid that expense. Fortunately, our car registration is based on the year of the car and not on how much you paid for the car. I looked at the Florida DMV site and the registration fee is based on weight.....not flat like Texas (but close in cost) and not like the highway robbery of California and some other states that base the fee on the price of the vehicle. One of the things I don't like about the inspections in Texas is that the inspectors have to record and report the odometer reading on the car to the state. This is too Orwellian for my taste.
