I have been a huge fan of our PIAA Super Silicone wiper blades for some time. Last night after a large bug made a valiant effort to get through my windshield I was washing things up. and want to show why. JUST last week I ran through a construction zone that splattered tar all up the front of my truck. I had to use Lacquer Thinner to clean it all off the windshield and I followed it up by 50/50 alcohol and water and then finally Windex. So, at that point I knew it was as clean as it could be and the initial silicone treatment that comes with the blades was removed. After just a week of wiper use you can clearly see the blades have re-deposited a new thin layer of silicone back onto the window to repel water JUST like they claim. Very cool.

Or, give me a call to order.

 

Those seem kind of neat. A bit expensive but the functionality is nice.

 

Maybe, but if you can get twice as long from them are they really that much more expensive? Clean these with alcohol once a month and watch the ice and they will last easily a year. Mine do.

 

That is true, I didn't see that they last for a year. Not too bad then

 

That's pretty neat! Never knew they existed.

 

I'm coming up on 2 years with my Bosch Icons. They still work fine.

 

and here comes negative nancy....

that looks cool! but for cost reasons ill stick to my Michelins and some RainX

 

Talk about being a hypocrite.................look it up in the dictionary if you don't know what that is.

Bite me, Alex.

 

What the heck do you do to them ?

I put mine on at 384 miles, now have 42K, and starting to think about a new set. Same for the LTXs, all this stuff from your shop

 

I thought I was ordering a set from Weathertech 4 years ago. Turns out the price was for 1 blade.
I tried to order another blade but they were out of stock for eons and I finally gave up trying to get another blade.
The 1 I had worked very well and never squeaked and lasted nearly a year and a half before the rubber started splitting and even then it still worked well and never scratched. Eventually I got a dealer installed set I didn't like much...
I really like the Rain-X Latitudes but I would buy another set of PIAA blades.

 

Got a set on the wife's Pt Snoozer that are at least two years old...

I need a set for my '05 but it's got brand new dealer replacements on it now. I put 'em on my S-10 and my '99 Scab when I had them.

I'ts nice to not have to use the wipers all the time and because of the deposits bugs and such cleaned off easier and more completely on those long road trips.

 

lol $20+ for each wiper i think ill just keep my little cheap $7 dollar ones i buy and keep changing them once a year. oh and by the way they do the same thing to the glass when you use rain x in the washer bottle so those wipers are nothing special they just cost more. salesman

 

I put a set on my truck about 6 months back and I like them so far. They were on sale for $9.xx each on amazon.com when I got them so I ordered four.

 

My truck currently has Motorcraft wiper blades... luckily it doesn't rain much in my part California.

I like to install a fresh set of blades in October in preparation for the rainy months, and by October of the following year the 100+ degree summer has destroyed them.

 

Bosch Icons and Rain-X washer fluid.
