How to remove windshield wiper arms on a 2008 toyota highlander

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Do they both sit perfectly about 4" up from the edge of the windshield rubber?

Winter snow and ice setting?

First, pull on the wiper arm until it raises and locks into the service position. The wiper arm will stand by itself once you raise it past a certain point.
Then find the clip on the underside of the wiper arm (rotate the blade slightly to get to it.
Press the clip in while simultaneously pulling the old wiper blade off the wiper arm. You can then discard the old blade.
Align the new wiper blade with the wiper arm track. Slide it along the track until you hear it click.
Repeat this process with the other wiper blade to complete the replacement of wiper blades on your Highlander.
Return the wiper arms to their normal position against the windshield. Done!

This is a dealer only change. front are standard 26 and 20 inch clip on

I just changed the wiper blades on my 2008 Highlander base. It is too simple. Pull the arm up so it is perpendicular to the car. In the middle of the wiper arm facing outward is a clip, simply pull the clip up (no tools needed) and take the arm off. Too simple, very different that all the other approaches for wiper blades.

Toyota didnt make the tires, so I would not think they would. Contact TOYO. but I doubt they would either. Car Manufactures do not put the best tires on, they send out for bids, and the tire company with the best bid wins.

Contact the Toyo company. toyota will not help you on this one. You need to check to see if there is unusual shredding or peeling or possibly chunks coming off the tires. That is what happened with mine at 14K miles and I am in the process of getting them replaced. Toyota service told me they thought it was normal wear. It was not. After I contacted Toyo, they told me to go to a toyo dealer and have them call the company back. They offered me 100% if I put the same A20 tire onthe vehicle and 70% (100% for unused spare) if I put the new Toyo HT. I chose the latter since it has a 60K mile warranty. What I also found out is the A20 tire is not the same one you can buy now. The new one is the A20A. The original A20 was made specifically for Toyota at their request as an OEM tire. Toyota should have some liability in this and I am fighting them for the 30% cost, but am not holding my breath they will help.

Manufacture problem. Contact Toyo for warranty status.

First check to see if the nut that holds your wiper to the shaft came loose. If it did, just tighten it. If it didn't , you'll have to look in through the access cover. Usually just a screen like cover at the bottom of your windshield. I'm not sure what the setup is on them, but most vehicles, this cover is just held on by screws. Remove your wiper/ wipers if necessary, remove the cover, and look inside. There should be a linkage bar that connects to your wiper motor. It may have come off, or be stripped. I'm sure you'll figure it out once you get that far. Good luck.

One side does not work? Can you move the arm with your hands? If so, look for a loose nut that holds the wiper arm on. Remove the plastic trim on the wiper arm base, and tighten the 12 millimeter bolt. Please advise if this helps.

I'm surprised if it's so good at braking that it has not ripped my entire tire tread off as technicians say the treat is separating well before its time!
