No. They are the best replacement for wipers due to they are made by Toyota for Toyota's, and most factory wipers the inserts can be replaced instead of the whole blade.
After you have removed the old wiper blade make sure to remove any adapter left behind on the actual wiper arm as the new blade should come with a multi use adapter.
It should just be a bare metal rounded hook bar now.
Now if there is not adapter on the new wiper blade then put the one provided on. Often times the wiper blade comes with this adapter already on the wiper blade.
Pull the wiper arm out a bit and set the new blade under the open section of the wiper arm.
That adapter will have a little play to it.
Push it up a bit so it fits in the slot on the wiper arm and pull up on the wiper blade and the blade should "click" into place.
Do the same for the other side and your good to go. I also recommend Raine X for your windshield. My experience as a mechanic and a storm chaser has proven Rain X to be invaluable in severe weather.

The problem is a broken part in the module which is inside the wiper motor. As far as I know, the part is not available, and you must replace the entire wiper motor to repair the problem
I was able to determine that the connector on the wiper motor was faulty. I believe it is a poor design for a connector. I gave a small twist to the thin prongs with needle nose plyers and this resolved what I think is a poor connector contact pressure problem.
either you go to the dealor and get a whole new arm wich is toyotas solution to the problem or you go to the auto parst store and ask them for 16 inch insert not a blade just an insert most stores will even instal it for you
Slide a small screwdriver under the tab in the middle of the blade and the arm, while pressing the tab in, pull blade away from the arm, this may need some extra wiggle. Remember you dont want it to fall off when driving..
