Cleaning the windshield

That's what I thought, and he said they were replaced the wipers several times, with his own $$ I'm assuming. Wonder if Steve has tried any of the other suggestions, and whether they worked...

I finally dumped the Toyota OEM blades and replaced them with Trico. The problem appears to be solved. Guess this is a YMMV situation...

Anybody tried the new Rainex blades??

The Trico blades on my truck are three years old. They still work perfectly. Every couple of weeks, I fold an alcohol swab over the blade edge and wipe clean.

I don't know if you Toyota loyalists will use Ford blades or not but Ford has used that type of blade quite successfully on several of its models for several years. The mounting point is not compatible with some wiper arms however. The RainX brand is rather pricy in comparison.

No, I haven't tried Glass Scrub.

After years of trying various products to remove the gunk off my '02 Toytoa Sienna windshield, I found something that works (for me anyway :)

It's called No Touch Auto Glass Stripper and is made by Permatex

I picked it up at WallMart.
