Well my wipers are old and alittle rusty and I don't like the bolt-on type wiper where you have to replace the blade and can't just get the newer type clip-on blades.

So are there any other Wiper arms off another Toyota that will bolt onto our cars?

Why not buy an adapter, so that you can use clip-on type wipers?

Also, the original wipers are great, I use nothing but. Worth it to buy new ones from Toyota, replacing the blades is cheap and easy, cheaper than buying new wipers all the time, and they work better.

But I get 'free' wipers from my work:naughty: , we don't sell just replacement blades.
Happen to know how much new Wipers from Toyota are though?

I sanded every black metal surface of my rear wiper arm and repainted it. Looks great, and one of these days I'm going to do the same with my windshield wipers. It's free, too. Well, minus a little spray paint and a bit of time.

I did the same, well to my fronts, I am going to remove my rear wiper and antenna and have the body filled in when I get my car painted... anyways... my wiper arms work with the standard clip on wipers.. maybe they are aftermarket wiper arms?

I use standard clip on blades...

I used a bench grinder + wire wheel to clean up my wiper arms. Sanded a lil bit, primer, paint, clear= Nice shiny black wiper arms (which have since chipped a bit and are rusting again)

I kept my standard Toyota arms and just replaced the inserts as has been said. As far as the arm goes it is very easy to clean up with a little sand paper and then some Krylon #1613 semi flat black spray paint. This worked great for me and I still have the original arms which look almost like new.

I did the same, wire wheel, high grit sander, then painted them. They looked great for awhile but are starting to fade again.
