The owner's manual does not describe windshield wiper blade specs, just how to remove them. Tried looking up wiper blade replacements for the 2020 Supra on O'Reilly, AutoZone, Amazon websites with no good matches. O'Reilly is showing wiper sizes from 18-"26, AutoZone straight up shows no matches for the car, and Amazon is showing there's no matching wipers to the car when I clicked on a few different size wipers. I'm only used to Japanese cars, so is this a BMW thing or are the 2020 Supra wiper blade clips a new style and stores don't have them yet??? The wiper blades are fine but when the wipers are turned on at lowest speed setting they seem to be a little jittery going across the windshield so I thought I would change the blades and see how that would go.

I searched for you and couldn't find anything aftermarket, but maybe Z4 aftermarket stuff would work? The Z4 uses 23"/20" and they look to be the standard hook style I have on all my cars.

In any case, the Toyota P/N is:
85212-WAA01

BMW Z4 part number:
61618492538

EDIT: Appear to be the same specs/parts between the Z4/A90 ( not surprising)

I think they take some time to break in. Mine were awful the first day, actually felt like something was wrong they were so juddery.

However, we had several rainy days here in the UK (What a surprise) and they were better on the second day and have been fine since then.

Yes! Just went on a drive today and it was also my 2nd time driving it in the rain. The first day using the wipers after 20-30mins it started to sound like it was rubbing on the glass kind of hard, but it's much better for now for who knows how long.

I got quite a surprise when I went to wash the car for the first time.

The wipers are all floppy! No fixed back like all the other cars I have ever driven. Also, you can't prop them up when washing as they hit the bonnet. Huh.

I believe you have to pull & hold the wiper lever either towards you or down for a few seconds (it's in the manual, I've only done this once), this will move where the wipers rest so that you can pull them away from the windshield without hitting the hood. You repeat the procedure to reset them back into the normal resting position.

New wipers can sometimes act grabby. Give them some time to wear in.

Just wanted to chime in and say “same” - I drove the Supra for the first time in the rain today and the blades were acting like they were pressed down against the windshield too hard. That is, instead of smoothly moving across it they would almost get stuck and then skip across it. That usually happens if it’s really dry and you have the wipers cranked up, but it was pouring rain and even at the lowest setting it was happening. I guess I’ll see if it happens again the next time I drive in the rain.

My wipers skipped really badly the first few times driving in rain, however being in the UK we have rain most of the time, and it seems like they have improved a bit through use. Still skip occasionally but definitely seems better than it was.

I'm having the same issue. So was looking for blades until I came across this post. My car is only a month old and they're jerky af. Annoying as hell. Is it the blades or there's an issue with the wiper motor? I'm suprise all you had the same issue. Did it go away?

Mine were bad the first rain, figured they needed to break in. They are smooth and fine now.

I noticed these are like my last car. You have to be careful not to lift them up or it could chip the paint on the hood. Follow the manual if you must lift them.
