I am going to purchase PIAA wiper refill to use on my OEM wiper, and i have a few questions:

I see that if I buy the refill, the windshield preparation pack is not included. Is it necessary to apply the windshield preparation pack?

lusid

imo no..

but thats just me. i put the refills and and it was good to go when it rained.

You should be OK. The prep stuff only lasts for a short time anyways.

The prep stuff is basically silicone spray with some alcohol in it. You buy a small squirt bottle of it for 4 bux at pepboys or where ever. That is what I did the 2nd time around when I replaced my PIAAS.

I love when I can use my PIAA's the 2 times it rains every year.

I used my wipers PIAA flavored for 2weeks straight, rained non-stop.

So you can just buy the refill wipers and they will fit on our oem metal blades or whatever there called? Also, how much do the refills run?

15.07shipped. I placed an order w/ pepboys this morning.

and they fit OEM housing.

Yep I just got mine. They fit perfectly in the stock blade housings and work great.

Do a search if you need the part numbers to order on the PepBoys site.

I know a place in New Jersey that sells the whole blade for our cars $15. Its in New Brunswick. I just picked up blades this weekend for $30 bux cash. Not just the refills but the entire blade. Good Deal in my book.

anybody have the carbon fiber blades from PIAA, can't tell how they'd look... I think I'm gonna just go with the refills though.
