I bought PIAA blades a year ago for the front of my minivan and just now bought one for the rear window. Even after a year the front blades do an excellent job and the water still beads up on the glass. Over 45 mpg I don't even need the wipers to be working as the rain just blows off.

These wiper blades are excellent at cleaning the glass. They leave a silicon coating behind that allows the rain to sheet off at high speeds. The coating doesn't work as well as rain-x. Rain-x starts sheeting around 45-50mph, the piaa wipers coating not until 60+mph. However, any time you need to use your wipers they leave a white streak across the windshield that doesn't disappear for a second or two. At night, the streaking catches all surrounding light and is blinding. It's like someone flashing their bright lights at you every time the wipers go across the windshield. The silicon residue is a great idea in theory, but in practice they are the WORST WIPERS EVER! They're DANGEROUS!

I installed this on the rear wiper of my 2000 Chevy minivan. It installed in seconds. It has performed very well in cold conditions, both rain and snow. I have yet to try it in warmer conditions, but I am very impressed with the flexibility this blade has in the cold. I would highly recommend!

ery Pleased with the quality of this wiper and the performance of it in the rain would buy it again.

Have owned these for about a year now. Still working great. Quiet and the silicone layer the blades leave on the windshield help with visibility from the rain. I have put these on our Acura TL as well as our Toyota FJ Cruiser.

The special silcone rubber makes these wiper blades last a very long time. It used to be when I used natural rubber blades, great for a few weeks then streaks. These last a very long time. Try them.

This refill does not even come close to fitting the existing carrier. I just wasted $35.00 on garbage.

it works, but no more than cheap ones. A cheap blade and rainx would have same effect. After one month blade is already streaking windshield.
