    The matter concerns the Prii of 3rd generation. They have 3 wipers, each one of different size.
    Here in Greece you cannot find just the rubber blade that touches the glass. One must buy the whole supporting parts (moving rods are excluded) and these are sold in pairs. Did anyone of you manage to find the proper products? Who is the maker/model?
    Should we buy 3 pairs, use one part of each pair and keep the rest for the next replacement?

    I would replace them individually as and when I need to as they are not cheap (about £25/€30).

    I'm still on my original set of front wipers since new in October 2009. It doesn't get hot here but it does rain a lot. They're still working fine - had last safety test back in October and it passed 100%.
