Windshield wiper blade types

Like other auto parts, you have several options when it comes to selecting your next type of wiper blades. To get you up to speed, here are a few different types to choose from for your Clermont Toyota vehicle:
Traditional frame-style
This is the most common type of windshield wiper blade that you’ll find on Clermont Toyota vehicles. This wiper blade uses a metal frame design and the blade is mounted on that. It’s relatively inexpensive and provides decent performance.
Winter wipers
These blades are more resistant and durable, but they do come with a bulkier design. You likely won’t find them on many Clermont Toyota vehicles because they’re meant to remove snow and ice from the windshield.
Premium beam style
Borrowing designs from winter wipers with the slim design of the traditional frame-style, premium beam style blades use a single blade, one-piece design. They contour to the shape of the windshield for better performance, but they do come at a higher price tag than other Clermont windshield wiper blades.

Choosing and installing your windshield wiper blades

After you’ve chosen the type of windshield wiper blade for your vehicle, you need to take into the account the sizes you need for your particular Clermont Toyota vehicle.
