Let me SHOW you why PIAA wiper blades rock!

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 Laquer 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.

Available for most cars and trucks here:

Or, give me a call to order.

You don't have to tell me. I've been running them for 4 years. My only compliant is they don't sell that packet of silicone/alcohol separately. I'd love to have a few wipes to refresh them every so often.

What ever happened to being able to buy a pair of windshield wipers?

Who cares if the passenger can see?

The real answer is actually a question too, why do so many cars use two different length wipers? A lot of applications will use two different lengths on the front and possibly a much longer on the rears. The common denominator to see everyone what they need is to sell them individually.

Will the refills fit stock blades? Or do you have to buy new blades and wipers? Thanks

That is why I use the "rain X" on my windshield. It covers the whole thing and not just where the wipers rub.

There are a few different mechanisms that retain the refills. I think the PIAA was trico style.

The goo is spread on the whole the windshield when you put them on. Then as the blades swipe, it applies more to make sure you have it.

Do they make 15" refills for the stock wipers on a 1977?
