If a service technician changed the wiper arm as part of the service, follow these instructions to replace the wiper blade on the back window. applies to V60, V60CC, and V60H models made before to 15W26 when the wiper arm is replaced during maintenance.
To loosen and remove the blade, take a firm hold of the wiper arm and press the blade forward (at the arrow).

What is the price of a RAV4 windshield?
Thank you for informing me about the hailstorm. In a Toyota RAV 4, a windshield replacement typically costs between $300 and $900. (or more).
Why such a broad spectrum? The technology in your windshield and the year of your RAV4 are two important factors. Modern cars’ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) make it safer for us to drive, but they also raise the price of windshield replacement and repair.
You might not have to pay anything to have your windshield fixed if you have comprehensive auto insurance! Comprehensive coverage must include a $0 deductible for windshield repair or replacement in areas including Florida, Kentucky, and South Carolina.
If you think you’re overpaying for auto insurance, Jerry can provide you comparable estimates in just a few seconds. Swapping is as simple. Jerry handles all the paperwork, makes all the contacts, and can even help you cancel your previous policy.
Are rear wiper blades unique?
Wiper blades come in three major types: “conventional,” “flat,” and “hybrid.”
Conventional wipers are easily distinguished because of the attached blade to an articulated metal frame. They are the type that have long been considered standard equipment on many autos. Flat wipers have gained popularity in recent years.
They consist of a substantial blade and a little plastic connection block in the center.
Hybrid wipers combine the two in some way, and the blade’s “frame” serves as an aerodynamic spoiler.
In order to prevent the blade from lifting quickly, this is meant to force it onto the screen.
Upgrade to flat or hybrid wipers if your automobile currently has conventional wipers for better looks and performance.
Rear wipers are often much smaller than front ones, and while many cars have front wipers that are similar to the rear ones in appearance, some have model-specific rear wipers that have the arm and the blade combined into a single unit.
These must be replaced together and are often secured to a splined shaft by a little nut.
Lift your wipers up from the windshield
It should be simple to lift your wipers up and away from your windshield once they are stopped halfway on your windshield. The old wipers on your windshield should protrude and point away from you. Now providing for simple access throughout the remaining modifying procedure.
Before you remove old wiper blades
Make sure to note which side the new blade length belongs on. Measure the previous blades’ length or simply compare it to the new Trico wiper blades. Then, position the fresh blades on the appropriate side.
Remove old wiper blades
The windshield wipers on your 2017 Toyota RAV4 connect to a little hook connector on the vehicle. The little hook’s attachments come in a variety of styles depending on the wiper maker. In order to raise and slide off the old wiper blade, look for a button or a latch.
Wiper blade and refill
To replace the wiper blades’ worn-out rubber component, buy refills. The entire blade does not have to be purchased.
Nothing is more essential than having clear visibility when you’re driving. But I frequently put off replacing my wipers, just like the majority of other drivers. Wipers should be changed every six months, particularly if you park outside and live in a dusty area like the desert.
The lower wiper arm that sticks out from the cowl, the blade that fastens to the wiper arm, and the rubber refill that wipes the glass make up your windshield wiper assembly. The component that eventually degrades due to harsh weather, dust, and filth is the thin rubber replacement. Most of the time, as we demonstrate in this post on how to change wiper blades, you can simply replace the wiper refill.
The blade can, however, also deteriorate and lose its grip on the glass, or even slightly bend due to ice and snow. Replace the entire blade if there is chatter or if the entire blade isn’t making contact with the windshield. Wiper blade installation simply takes a minute. Every two years, you need change the entire blade (which is offered with refills).
Tip: Cleaning your windshield every time you fill up with gas will prolong the life of your wipers and keep them functioning properly. To eliminate grit, you should also wipe the entire rubber insert with a wet cloth.
A wiper insert: what is it?
- The wiper edge of the wiper insert is positioned where the corner radius and the straight edge meet.
- Even if the feed rate is doubled compared to traditional breakers, the surface finish does not degrade.
- High feed rate machining increases cutting effectiveness.
- The surface finish of the workpiece can be enhanced while using the same machining parameters as conventional breakers but with a higher feed rate.
- High feed rates allow for the combination of roughing and finishing operations in addition to cutting down on machining times.
- The time needed to cut one component is reduced when using fast feed rates, allowing more pieces to be machined with each insert. Additionally, the fast feed rate reduces friction, which delays the onset of wear and lengthens the tool’s useful life.
- Because the chips produced under high feed circumstances are thicker and easier to break, chip control is enhanced.
Even when the feed rate is doubled (0.30.6), the surface roughness does not worsen.
- shortened machining process (per workpieces)
- increased number of items of work (per definitive time period)
- Better chip control
- removing the finishing step by combining the roughing and finishing steps
- shorter cycle times
- A rise in productivity
- Keeping lines from stopping
*When using standard inserts and machining at a corner R or taper angle exceeding 5, the surface roughness is the same.
It is possible to use conventional machining programs.
(The ISO/ANSI is the foundation for the CNMG, WNMG, and CCMT kinds.)
Due to the unique top face geometry when employing the DNMX and TNMX kinds, additional care must be taken.
Use a holder with a 93 degree end cutting angle to increase wiper effectiveness. However, there is no wiper efficiency with other end cutting angles. A holder with an end cutting angle of 91 can improve wiper efficiency (see the following figure) (60, 90, 107etc.).
(The DNMXTNMX kinds do not adhere to ISO/ANSI standards. Please see the following page.)
In the event where the adjustment number is negative (6070) and not fully machined, adjust the angle toward the normal line.
The number+numbers:relief angle adjustment, numbers:drive-in angle adjustment (mm)
Workpiece R plus the adjustment value equals the value of adjustment to workpiece R.
In this instance, the corner radius needs to remain as is.
When corner radius is corrected:
Although machining errors can happen within the maximum tolerance, it is not required to alter the machining program.
due to rounding up by an approximate number, 0.03mm. Correction of Corner Radius Enter the corner radius correction numbers.
Both DNMX and TNMX have the same correction value. Identify them based on the radius of their corners.
