As the title says.
I wish to replace the rubber refill but couldn't remove it. Used to be able to remove it fairly easily just by pressing the clip but not this one.
Can someone point me to the right direction?
Cheers
Quickest way would be sidecutters Attachment 10994 :)
What make of car? Google for a service manual.
How much more is a whole new wiper arm, rubber included?
The refill is definitely not original.
It's a very old 2003 Toyota Corolla Runx Jap import.
You see those rectangular shaped buttons within the rectangular space outlined by plastic surrounds, squeeze the buttons and at the same time pull the grooved handles on either side, should pull out the clasp, I normally use the same clip and just put a new rubber in by sliding it down the long metal support.
On a further look at the pics you posted, what I said is not correct, just fiddle around with it and the end piece will slide out, just have to actuate the release mechanism.
Got it removed, just two tiny little plastic clips.

Replace with Wipertech - by far the best wiper blade you will ever need :)https://www.wipertech.co.nz/

I had a Camry which had juddery wipers. Put 2 new sets of rubbers to try and fix the problem. Toyota agent said genuine Toyota blades would fix it.
I bit the bullet and paid out $Plenty.50, around 4 times the price of aftermarket ones. Solved the problem. 10/10 Zippity!
Ken :)
But if the normal ones work perfectly, how can something be better? Haven't had an issue with mine.Quote:

I would always prefer to pay more for something that works as it should than go for the cheap and nasty one.
No one is forcing you to purchase the more expensive wiper blades.
Ignore sound advice at your peril :)
+1 They work as advertised. Mine took a while to get here as the come from Austrailia and reduced flights slow down delivery. Definately not cheap but they do work. Thanks for the tip Zippity.Quote:
