Service & Repair Manual

My car is 2007 Toyota Camry LE, I heard rubbing noise when I was running the wiper, after a close examination, the driver side wiper rubber was peeling off the wiper. Is it necessary to replace the entire blade, or just the rubber, and how to mount it? Thanks for your help

Answer: At walmart, the rubber refills cost about 3 bucks, the blade with wiper is about 5 bucks each and they will last at about the same time. The mounting instruction comes with the install kit. Installation is actually very easy. Hope this help.

How much does it cost to replace the front bumper on my 2007 BMW 328i ( actually it’s the plastic cover). I will replace it in a body shop, not in a BMW dealership, please help, so I don’t get screwed.   

Answer: The cost is about $300 for painting. (had them painted before). I’m sorry but I don’t know the cost of the cover. But I would guess about $200 to $300. You will pay about $600 for the total replacement.

How can I replace the rear wiper blade assembly on my 2007 Toyota Prius, (not only the rubber insert) How to detach the blade assembly from the wiper arm? Does anyone have a suggestion?

Answer: As far as I know,  the size of the rear wiper blade  on the 2007 Toyota Prius is unique, it is very specific. My suggestion is go to the parts department in your local Toyota dealership to find the right insert that fits the blade assembly, so you don’t have to detach the blade assembly. Good luck.
