I just installed these sizes (22" = Driver, 21" = Passenger) but used the new Bosch Envision wiper blades.Iāve always had great experiences with Bosch ICON. Sizes for the Supra are 21OE and 22OE.
Yes, I found them for $42 shipped but the gf wanted to replace now.Iām a fan of Bosch wiper blades, but the OEM set is $50 MSRP and can be found for less online.
I am curious to hear your experience with these after some time. Saw those and considered them but decided to stick with what I knew in the ICONs. If they are better Iāll be switching right away. ~$72 to see as clearly as possible in the rain is well worth it. Iāve always felt you should buy the best wiper blades, headlights, brakes, and tires regardless of price because you need to see, stop, and stay on the road.I just installed these sizes (22" = Driver, 21" = Passenger) but used the new Bosch Envision wiper blades.
They are pretty expensive (~$36 each ) but AutoZone did not have an unopened Icons which I usually use (seemed like returns). These are supposedly better with super 8k night vision / x-ray vision lol . They are running a promo where you get a $15 AutoZone giftcard with purchase of two.
The required a little jiggling but the connector which came installed on the blades fit (there are three others in the package).
Doing the squirt test in the driveway, they gave a nice clean wipe. Will report back with more mileage.
For reference, here is the procedure for positioning the blades to change (note, they cycle 3 times so prob a good idea to wet the windshield if it is dirty):
I will post back impressions. Last night I had to move the car in a lite rain and they were good but I canāt say it was any better than the icons (which are excellent) or really any new blade.I am curious to hear your experience with these after some time.

Had the same issue with the lack of the driver's side (I think - one of them was not there).I finally switched out the OEM wiper blades. I went with Bosch Envision. Part # EN22OE and EN21OE at Autozone. They were pricey, but the install was super easy and they work great. I tested them in the snow the other day and they were quiet and no streaking.
To save someone having to go through their manual for the replacement procedure:
When I was at auto-zone, they now have 3 or 4 different kinds that fit the car. I would have tried the ICON's per a lot of recommendations here, but they didn't have the driver's side size available when I was there and I was impatient. I think the Envisions will be just fine. Cheers!
- Put car in standby (basically just open the door and sit in the car without hitting the start button)
- Hold the wiper stalk down (towards the ground) for 3-4 seconds. The wipers will move into straight up and down position. Fold them out from the car.
- On the stock wiper blades you will see a button on the top. Press it and pull the blade straight out from the car. It should come out with a little jiggling.
- For the Bosch blades I purchased you can use the adapter that came on the blade. It came with 3 or 4 different adapters. Just push it straight on the stalk until it clicks. Note: The driver and passenger side are slightly different lengths. Make sure to compare before you try to stick it on there.
- Fold the blades down against the window. Go in the car and hold the wiper stalk in a down position until it goes back under the hood cowl.
- Voila, done.
you said it comes with the adapter? I got the icons and canāt figure out how this worksI finally switched out the OEM wiper blades. I went with Bosch Envision. Part # EN22OE and EN21OE at Autozone.
