Parts for your 2020 Toyota Vitz|yaris-Wiper refills

2020 Toyota Vitz/Yaris wiper-refills

Based on Toyota’s own technical literature, wiper-refills are used on the 2020 Toyota Vitz/Yaris. The 2020 Yaris Owner’s Manual (AU/NZ editions) describes replacing the “wiper blade rubber,” and Toyota’s Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) lists genuine “wiper rubber insert” part numbers for the model’s front (and rear, where fitted) windscreen wipers. That confirms refillable inserts are supported, with full blade replacement recommended only when the blade frame is worn or damaged.

On the 2020 Vitz/Yaris, wiper-refills keep the windscreen clear by renewing just the rubber edge that meets the glass. It’s a tidy, cost-effective way to restore wet-weather visibility without binning the whole blade assembly. Genuine-style refills slide into the original blade rails, preserving the correct pressure profile and quiet operation the car left the factory with.

As part of regular servicing, techs will usually check wipe quality, the rubber edge, and the blade frame. In Aussie and Kiwi conditions—strong UV, sea air, and plenty of grit—rubber ages faster. Expect to refresh wiper-refills roughly every 6–12 months, or sooner if the car lives outdoors.

• Signs it’s time: streaks or haze that won’t shift, squeaking or chattering, missed patches, split or frayed edges.
• Quick care tips: wash the windscreen often, wipe the blade edge with a damp cloth, top up washer fluid (avoid harsh solvents), and park out of direct sun when possible.

Replacement is a simple job many owners tackle in a few minutes: lift the arm carefully, slide the old insert out with its thin metal rails, transfer rails if required, and feed the new insert into the blade channel until it locks. Always control the arm so it doesn’t snap back onto the glass. If the blade frame is bent, corroded, or the aero cover is loose, swap the complete blade instead of just the refill.

Variations exist by grade and market (and between front and rear), so the safest bet is to match refills via the VIN or by checking the marking on the existing blades. Genuine-style refills maintain the designed contact pattern across the screen, giving quieter, streak-free wiping—exactly what’s needed when the weather turns nasty.

Does the 2020 Toyota Vitz/Yaris use wiper-refills or full blades?

It supports refillable inserts for the factory blades, as confirmed by the Owner’s Manual and Toyota’s parts listings. If an aftermarket one-piece blade has been fitted, that particular blade may not accept refills and should be replaced as a complete unit.

How often should the wiper-refills be replaced in Australia or New Zealand?

Every 6–12 months is typical. Strong UV, coastal air, and dust can harden the rubber faster, so frequent short trips or outdoor parking may justify earlier replacement.

What sizes do I need, and can I DIY?

Sizes vary by trim and market, and between front and rear. Match via VIN or by reading the markings on the current blades. DIY is straightforward—just control the wiper arm, transfer the metal rails if needed, and feed the insert the correct way. If the blade frame is worn, replace the whole blade instead.
