I need to replace my wipers. There was an older thread about keeping the factory arms and just replacing the rubber inserts on the arm with Lexus/Toyota parts. That thread was about 4 years old. Below are quotes from that post along with part numbers . Are you guys and girls still doing that today?

Seems like a lot of work. I go to the local auto Zone, buy the best blades, like Bosh or Trico and the guy asks if I want them put on. He does it for me. Gives him a break from the counter so a win-win.
I still replace just the rubber inserts.
Did it with my previous Toyota and 4 Hondas over the decades.
Costs a lot less and I don't have to wonder which of the aftermarket assemblies work as well as the originals.
I made a career of working with small, intricate (electronic) devices, so there's also an element of satisfaction with the job.

Updating .Went to a Lexus dealer and bought the wiper inserts which are a perfect fit and MUCH cheaper than buying the entire arm. Below are the part numbers that Itchiee provided a while ago.Thanks Itchiee!! Price was $10.99 each.
