I searched around and couldn't find a damn thing on how to replace your wiper blades with non-OEM blades. I, like most of you, noticed that the OEM wiper blades kinda, well, suck. So I picked up some silicone wiper blades from amazon that I've used with great success in the past. I thought I was out of luck when all the adapters seem to not fit, but I figured what the hell and just started cutting plastic off the one that matched the OEM adapter.
TL;DR Buy silicone wiper blades and cut the plastic off the wiper blade adapter until it fits like OEM.
I got the PIAA silicone wiper blades for my 2015 4Runner and now I swear by them. Definitely nicer than the stock rubber blades, and I just ordered some for my 2018 Accord. That's my recommendation.
You'll need a 16" (passenger side) and 18" (driver side).
