Chad's 742 on Performance Tires & Wheels

After using the PIAA Super Silicone Wiper Blade for a few months.  I am impressed with the performance they offer.  Compared to the original equipment wipers that came on my General Motors vehicle the PIAA aftermarket wipers are a nice improvement.  I have had them for 3 months now so it may not be a fair comparison to the original equipment blades, which I had used for a year.  The first thing I noticed about these blades was how much better I could see while using the wipers in rainy conditions.  Another thing I like about the PIAA is the way the water beads as a result of the silicone coating on the windshield allowing the water to be easily removed by the wiper.  I have been very happy with the PIAA Super Silicone Wipers.  Take a look at how they compare to the traditional Wiper Blades like I used to have on my car.

Prior to wiper use, prepare windshield according to the instructions included in the Windshield Preparation Kit.

Run blades "dry" for 5 minutes to complete windshield preparation. This spreads initial silicone coating on the windshield.

Wiping action makes windshield water-repellant, so rain beads up,

and is removed by the wipers at low to moderate speeds, Super-smooth glide eliminates annoying chattering and squeaking.

or by wind pressure at moderate to high speeds.

Then compared to the traditional wiper blade without the use of silicone blades

.............

Normal windshield  allows rain water to collect and puddle.

So rain never beads up,...    .....

there by reducing visibility.

Noisy, chatter, vibration especially for chemical-coated windshield.

                          


On a side note regarding my installation experience make sure you read the instructions and follow them.  Their are some specific instructions you need to follow to make the wipers a success.  Make sure you use the correct hook on installation which is shown in the instructions.  Once I figured things out the installation went quickly.
