Re: PIAA Wipers
Don't bother with the PIAA wiper blades - they really really suck. They leave a band of silicone deposited at the end of the wipers arc on the windshield. It's a pisser to remove. And IMO the PIAA blades do a poor job of clearing the windshield.
Lately, I've been using RainX brand wipers. They're ok.
Tim, those Bosch Micro Edge Excel wipers work very well. I'm going to try the new Bosch ICON blades next time. |

Just bought a Bosch ICON set from Autozone, Buy one Get one free with Mail-in rebate, so eventually the pair will have cost $17.99. Of course, will treat with Rain-X before replacement. Really hard to find an 11" blade  for the rear, had to get a Duralast (PTFE treated), Autozone brand. We'll see....

Flat out wonderful in the rain, of course, applied RainX too, the new RainX wipes make it even easier to apply. The ICONs are silent, chatterless and streak free, of course they are new, but never "heard" a blade this quiet.
Well worth the $18 for the pair. Will post a follow up in 6 months...
