Ordered a new rear wiper blade for the Yaris which arrived today from ECP but it doesn’t fit. It’s the same as the Rav rear wiper. No one seems to have one so got in touch with the resident parts master Kingo and the Yaris is a Japanese build not French built so it has a different type. So get ready for this it’s £120 😱😱😱 I will have to buy the whole arm. I would’ve changed just the rubber but I broke the plastic bit tahts connected to the arm so can’t do that.
You would’ve thought same car same parts

You would’ve thought same car same parts Have you tried eBay/Amazon, etc.? When I needed a rear wiper for the Saab, the internet options were cheaper than any other. |

I'm a bit confused Ash - is the arm Japan or France origin?
The ones I linked to are for the Japanese version. What year is it?

Still confused Ash, is that the blade or the arm or both? Can you show the old blade where it attaches to the arm?

It’s the wiper blade Dave the little knotch you can see in the photo that pushes into the arm. There’s 2 either side of the wiper and 2 holes in the wiper arm where it fits into. I can’t get a photo of the arm at moment as the Mrs has popped out I’ve been to all the local places and everyone is scratching their head. He only thing I can think of is maybe the whole arm has been replaced at some point well that’s what one of the parts shop guys suggested he also said the Yaris, Rav4 and Suzuki Vitara share the same wiper blade. I have checked on the 4.2 and the one ECP sent fits perfectly onto that. The shape of the arm is different though so can’t swap and check  |

Ash, I guess that what you want is a complete arm/blade unit and that is what the £120 Kingo quoted is for. I would have thought that you can get an arm/blade on the internet. That's what I did with the saab's; the arm/blade from the web was cheaper than just a blade from local suppliers.

I rang a local breakers they have a few Yaris’ in and will see if they can swap one over for me |

New wiper and arm fitted today cost me £20 from a breakers. Not sure why they would have different types but it’s working now so I’m a happy bunny

Good news....use to love going down the breakers has a young driver jumping from bonnet to bonnet looking for parts for my old Triumph Vitesse 😎 but now just buy them on line 👍🏻
I enjoyed that too when younger used to go with my dad who was always looking for bits. Don’t think you can do that anymore as they seem to have everything stripped ready for sale
