Piaa94045 Silicone Wiper Blade Refill, 18" (Pack of 1)

Good quality and performance and long service for the money, however...The instructions suck. Low marks here. I think a company should provide the best support possible for their customers. Especially for somewhat technical items that non-skilled customers are likely to purchase. I would be very upset if my wife, sister or girlfriend bought these and then couldn't install them. Given it's likely raining or snowing when they need to replace them. But that's just me.And... the products are poorly marketed in so far as a customer has to hunt the internet to find a site that provides a useable and understandable product search app. You have a good chance of giving up or ordering the incorrect product.Other that this the product is great.

In the world of windshield wipers there are only two types: PIAA silicone blades, and everything else. Great product, superior performance, won't chatter or streak. The first time you install a set you won't believe how much better wipers can be.The first set is more expensive than what you'd get at Autozone. Go ahead and make the plunge. You're buying a refillable frame. They will last longer than what you get at Pep Boys anyway.Then when they do wear out, you only need to buy these blade refills. And THESE are less expensive than all but the cheapest blades at O'Reilly's.

these lasted almost one season. Not bad, but do not stand up to any foreign materials on the windows. The material works well floating over the glass to drive water away, but any dirt in the path is too strong for these to remove. leaves or mud splashes can tear this material as well. These do not stand up well in sunlight as the silicone hardens and actually grabs onto the glass when it gets too hot as I found out when the blades finally gave out.Wen they are new, they work well, but so do normal wipers as well.Would I buy again? Depends on the price I suppose. Take care of them if you buy them..

I got this for my 2010 Mini Cooper and bought two of these wipers without realizing that the Mini Cooper's windshield wiper on the driver side is a completely different length to the windshield wiper on the passenger side. The driver's side is about 2-3 inches shorter!This product page did not indicate that there may be a length difference when I entered my car information and I wasn't aware of this and purchased two. I didn't discover this until I was trying to put these on my car and only the driver's side fit. I had to leave my old windshield wipers on the passenger side. I don't know if this is an issue with all cars. So that was a little disappointing.Besides that, these wipers were easy to put on and does work well. I will say, however, that it does make a little bit of a squeaking sound at times (usually when it's only drizzling and there's not a lot of water on the windshield yet).

these appear to be exact replacements to original ... working like they are brand new wipers. no silicone cloth included like with the new wipers, but if you are like me you save the extra one my only complaint about the piaa system is the rain-x like streaking the windshield gets for a brief second after passing across windshield before it turns crystal clear (-1*). these are great refills helping us all reduce waste and conserve our planets valuable resources while keeping us safer in the rainnow...as for amazon's packaging and shipping ... kinda like a using an H2 Hummer to commute 200 freeway miles a day. two separate boxes 4 x 4 x 36 inches ...so much for reducing waste and conserving resources! come on Amazon...join the 21st century and help out.

When I discovered these PIAA wipers 8 years ago, I never looked back. All my family cars only use these wipers because they: 1) work like a dream, no smears or streaks, 2) last a LONG time, between 3-5 years, depending on how much rain you get; 3) easy to install, both the all-in-one and replacement blades, and 4) are great value for the money. Yes, you may pay a little more, but you're getting WAY more value. Quality+Durability=Longevity. I've seen some semi-negative reviews here on occasion and I just have to think they either ordered the wrong size or didn't pay attention to the difference between the all-in-one wiper blade and wiper blad refill because these wipers are awesome and have told all my friends and coworkers.

I dont write reviews unless I am very angry. In this case Its different that I am writing when I am very happy with the product. I would like this company to succeed and make more of these and more affordable. I have these on my Nissan Altima and there is a huge difference in driving experience in Rain with my Prius (with ordinary Wipers). Its quiet and when its like super bad rain at night time you will still see the clear road. In short if you want to drive safely at Night and Rain then you need this product.

This is the first time i had replaced the original blades that I installed almost 2 years ago. My vehicle stays outside year round so it gets maximum abuse, from both heat and cold.

I have the PIAA wipers installed on both cars at home. I decided to try the refill blade to save money and produce less waste when it was time to change the wipers. The instructions were on the back, it was easy to remove the old blade and insert the new one. It get a little tricky when you get near the end when the tab needs to insert in a cavity on the refill blade but, everyone should be able to install it at home.

Works excellent

This is the wrong size. It is thinner and not standard.I bought a 26 and an 18. This 18 is too small. See pics.
