Thank you! Placing my order now.

I've been using Rain-X blades for the past few years on my TL and they've been great. I hope these PIAA's are decent blades. :-)

Instead of extra sets of blades, I'm going to give this a shot:

I just got these PIAA replacement inserts from Amazon. They work really great and super quiet. Literally one minute per wiper to install - no need to unscrew the assembly. Just slide out the old one, and in with the new. Easy. Plus with all the ice/snow we've had here in CT, these have worked out great in that kind of bad weather. Regular rain is nothing to these blades.

I picked these up from Amazon this week for $15.02 for both - delivered in two days but I only paid for regular shipping.

Highly recommended.

well I'm 5-10 so maybe a little leaning for the drivers side for a few seconds, but the passenger side was easily in reach. I guess for those that are a little bit vertically challenged you might have to lean over more

I'm 5'11" so I guess it is doable...too bad I just swiped mine out 3 weeks ago and it was so cold I couldn't keep my hands straight in the car. It was also dark so I guess it was bad timing.

I've gone through that list already and found NOTHING! I wish there were more DVD-A DTS available.

I know, I know. My tail is between my legs. I got all excited when I saw the first couple and then ran to post the link. Then, I went back to look more closely and saw it was a wash...except I did order the Beatles one this morning. Whoever posted that link- thanks!

Has anyone tried the forza hybrids by piaa? I need to replace mine this weekend. I was perusing the piaa website and saw that these were the "top of the line" blades. Any thoughts?

I was always a big fan of Toad the Wet Sprocket and got this DVD awhile back and since getting the RL, realized this was DVD-A. Glen Phillips is TTWS's lead singer and has a pretty good solo career going.

Sorry to threadjack. I also got those wiper inserts off Amazon and they work great. I ordered a few extra to have down the road.

I don't see a reason to go more fancy than PIAA sillicone, it was pouring yesterday and they performed perfectly.

Second season on PIAA silicones. Still mucho muy happy. After two seasons of sun, also, still a perfect wipe.

I've had my original set in since early 2007 and they're still wiping fine (car is in a garage most of the time). I have two backup sets so I should be set for the life of the car!

I have the PIAA inserts right now, and they're OK. I'd still prefer the Rain-X wipers. I order a set of Rain-X wipers from Amazon.com, and the fit-guide said they'll fit a 2007 RL... but they didn't. I confirmed it on the rain-x website. My PIAA's are streaking, I think it's because of the wiper's articulating points are distributing uneven pressure. Does anyone know if there's another brand or wiper (the metal part) that I can use, other than OEM?
