OK, I agree I should buy winter blades for my Prius. I got a card from Toyota in the mail, listing my Prius, it's VIN, my name, address etc. On the card it says they sell winter blades for my car at the dealer, so drop on by and get a set. Today I did. Dealer says, "hmm, 2007 Prius huh?" Yup, I answer. "There isn't a listing in the Toyota Parts computer for winter blades for that car. Here's a tape measure, go out and measure the blades and come back and I'll fix you up." So I come back in, 26" drivers side, and 18" passenger side. He tells me he only has 24" and 18". OK Toyota, please explain! Why isn't the car in the parts listing? Why aren't there 26" winter blades? Why did you send me a card telling me to buy the blades if you don't even sell them! Yes, I could buy a 24" blade, but why would I pay $2 more for the wrong blade at the dealer if I can get the wrong blade anywhere?

lol... just like the guy who kept asking me "are you sure your Camry is Japanese made" cause apparently US and Japanese Camrys have different wiper blades <Shrug>. Is it so hard to believe that a Camry is built in Japan any more? lol (it's a 2002)
