Hello everyone, I has a quick question to ask regarding the PIAA wiper blades for our second gen CLs and/or TLs. I want to get the newer models such as the SI-Tech Run Flat, but my questions are:

Link to the wiper blades: http://www.tirerack.com/wipers/resul...3&autoModClar=

1- Do they still use the super silicon with these blades?

&

2- Can they be refilled using the wiper blade refills that PIAA sells, or am I going to have to buy a whole new set of wiper blades when the time comes to replace them? (That'll become expensive)


If those two conditions aren't met, then I'm going to go with the original PIAA Super Silicon Wiper Blades.


Thanks for all the input

Actually I'm going to buy the regular ones as they have more consistent good reviews. Mods please delete this thread. Thanks.

I was not very impressed by the PIAA blades. went with Bosch Icons and was very happy

Maybe you had a bad set?

they have been getting positive reviews from most of the people of this forum and so have the bosh icons. I was planning on getting the icons, but there are two things against this idea for me

1 - More people prefer PIAA (even those that have used the icons)

2- The PIAA will save more money due to the refills. $8 vs buying a whole new set of blades for $30+.

At least, that's how I'm thinking about it.

To add onto what I said, some people change wiper blades every 6 months, so that'll be another reason to get PIAA. They seem like great blades and they come with cheap refills.

I'll honestly think about getting the bosch icons IF they sell refills for them. Do they sell refills for them?

I've run Bosch Icons in all of my cars. The set on the CL was purchased in August of '08 and I had to replace them about 4 months ago when they had just started to streak. I got them on Amazon for around $35 shipped. Im sure you can find the PIAA blades there as well.

And the PIAA refills aren't for the SI-Tech blades, just the Super Silicone blades.

Never seen refills for the beam style blades. I heard silicone blades last much longer then regular rubber inserts. Honda sells wiper blade inserts too.

Or you could go to walmart, buy a new set of wipers and return the old ones with the new box and tell them, these wipers dont fit.

Fixed!
Wow.....you could also go tell him to stuff a pair of wipers down his pant legs and walk out the door. What your suggesting is stealing. Mods should delete this post, it's not what Acurazine is about.
