Drivers would be hard-pressed to find another SUV with the reliability of a Toyota, with the Highlander serving as proof. However, as miles accumulate, even the most reliable vehicles require some repairs. Eventually, finding replacement Toyota windshield wipers becomes a necessity, and that’s where our Toyota service center in Madison comes in.
What Windshield Wipers Does My Toyota Highlander Need?
Toyota brand vehicles use SightLine wiper blades, specifically engineered for the windshield shape and wiper arm downforce of your car, truck or SUV. The generally recommended length for a Highlander’s wiper blades are a 26-inch blade on the driver’s side, an 18-inch blade on the passenger’s side, and a 12-inch blade for the rear window if one is required. The length of your wiper blades may vary depending on trim level or model year, so make sure to check your owner’s manual to be on the safe side.
When Do I Replace My Windshield Wipers?
You should have your Toyota Highlander windshield wipers examined every 5,000 miles as part of routine maintenance. If you see any of these signs of wear and tear, we strongly recommend getting replacement windshield wipers immediately:
- Scooting and skipping: Dried out or corroded rubber can cause scooting or skipping on the windshield
- Streaking: Worn blades become warped from exposure to elements like tree sap, road tar, and other chemicals, which can cause the rubber to harden or crack
- Splitting: Split rubber occurs from prolonged exposure to sun’s damaging UV rays
- Screeching: As blades age, the rubber stiffens and loses flexibility, which can cause squeaking or screeching
