PIAA Silicone Wiper Inserts?
Hey all, my wipers are starting to get pretty streaky and I wanted to replace the inserts. I've heard great things about PIAA's silicone wiper inserts, would they work with the oem blades? I don't want to buy new wiper blades and would rather keep them oem, but I'd like to upgrade just the inserts.

Don’t get them. I bought some and they don’t work well with the frs. The inserts will slip out when wipers are on high speed. Piaa work great with my 350z but not this car. Price has gone way up on these and they didn’t work well with the frs
Get the boschicon wipers and replace the whole thing. Simple to install and works great. You can get them from the auto parts store like advance auto and find a 30-40% coupon and get them for cheap. Think I bought them for $35 for both the 22” and 20” set |

Trico Force. They work great. Also, trico invented the wiper 102 years ago...

I have the PIAA blades and so far it's been the same as OEM blades, just maybe a buck or two more. It's only been about 4 months so it's too early to tell. The main benefit is that they last longer, supposedly.
