Country of OriginIdentifying your vehicle's Country of manufacture, or origin, on all 1988-1997 Toyota Corolla models.Before you replace your Toyota Corolla windshield wiper blade assembly or wiper blade inserts, you will need to know if your Corolla was manufactured in Japan or North America. There are two ways to tell. First, you can check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of your Corolla. If the VIN of your Toyota Corolla begins with the letter "J", for example "JT2SV2 . . ." your Corolla was imported from Japan. A North American produced Toyota Corolla will have a VIN beginning with the numeral "1". Please confirm your Corolla's country of manufacture before placing your order to ensure a proper fit. Wiper InsertsIdentifying the Wiper Blade Inserts on your 1985 or 1995-1997 Toyota CorollaAs with the windshield wiper blades above, in order to get the correct Toyota Corolla wiper blade inserts you first need to identify whether your Corolla was manufactured in Japan or North America. To do this, you can check the VIN or you can examine your existing Toyota Corolla wiper blade inserts. 1985 Sport Coupe ModelsCorolla Sport Coupe models manufactured in 1985 feature one of the two support rib (long ribs which secure the wiper insert inside the wiper blade) styles shown below on the wiper blade insert. The first style, pictured below on the left, is the one-piece bridged, A-style Toyota wiper blade insert support rib. On the right, is the square plastic, F-style Toyota wiper blade insert support rib.
1995-1997 ModelsAll 1995 through 1997 Toyota Corolla models require a visual inspection of the existing Corolla wiper blade insert before ordering. You will need to identify the style of "Blade Claw" which is the metal bracket, or support, that surrounds the rubber wiper insert at select points along the wiper blade. On the left below is a Corolla "C" style Blade Claw from a Japanese manufactured Corolla which features a trapezoidal shape. On the right below is a Corolla "B" style Blade Claw from a US or Canada manufactured Corolla which feature a square shape.
