I think I may have only posted this to RAD, but I bought a set of PIAA
"super silicone" wiper blades as a test, as I was disgusted with the
life I was getting from even good parts store blades/refills (Bosch,
Anco, Trico - no difference, I was getting only maybe 6 mos. tops out of
them before they started getting hard.) I actually wore out the
silicone blades after a year - they were still supple, but the wiping
edges were starting to get worn down and they were getting a little
streaky. By that time PIAA had started producing refills, so I bought a
pair of those and they are still good. At the same time as I bought the
first set of PIAA blades for the Impala I also bought a set for the
****sche and since it gets much less use those are still good. I liked
'em so much that I bought a set for the ugly Ford truck when I bought
the refills, and I'd buy a set for the Studebaker if they came in a 12"
size.
The only downside that I do see is a little bit of "haze" on the
wind****eld when wiping which doesn't really impede vision but looks a
little wierd. On intermittent it clears within less than a second after
the wipers pass over the wind****eld.
Normally I'd feel weird giving an endorsement to PIAA products as they
seem to be the king of gimmicky rice-boy products but the wipers are bar
none the best I have ever used. They're especially nice for low-mileage
cars where the rubber typically degrades before the wiping edges wear
out due to actual use of the wipers, as the ones on the ****sche have
been on there since December '06 and are still good.
