Default How to replace wipers on Camry 98

I need to replace wipers on my 1998 Camry. On other cars usually I was
able to just pull out the rubber refill and pop a new one in.
I looked at the wipers and I can't see how to do that.
The Owner's Manual has nothing on the subject.
What is the trick?
What do I need to buy (probably at Walmart)?
Are there anywhere some illustrated instructions that I could download?
Thanks for any help.

Default How to replace wipers on Camry 98

I've tried to replace the factory rubber inserts and it is just not worth
it. They cost more than getting a new set of blades from Anco, available in
any auto parts store. The whole blade (the metal and rubber part) just snap
off and the new one snaps on in its place. Total time to accomplish this is
under a minute and the auto parts stores usually will do it for you if you
ask.

Default 1998 Toyota Camry: How to replace windshield wipers

Mark is right on here. I personally prefer to use the coupon to get
Toyota refills (~$6 a pair). The natural rubber blades last longer
than man-made nitrile rubber ones but don't cost more with the coupon.

The lengths and widths change with different wipers/years, so you'll
have to check first to make sure what you currently have.
