PIAA wipers.... never buy again....

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this with PIAA wipers but after using them for about 2 months I would never buy them again.

I replaced my 1 year old wipers with PIAA Silicone thinking they would do a much better job and last much longer. The first 2 months the wipers worked awesome, sheeting the water away.

But after that I started noticed them starting to shutter and skip across the windshield. I even applied a layer of Rain-X to help the wipers sweep across the wipershield but to no avail. I have heard of people applying some kind of a silicone application but mine did not come with this. (Pepboys paid around $16 with free shipping)

I went out a replaced them with the Acura OEM wipers (paid around 12).

Maybe this is an isolated case, but I was not impressed with the overhype of these wipers.

Just my

the wipers are suppose to come with a small solution/towelet that you are suppose to wipe across the windshield before installation. ive had my wipers for more than 2 months and i love them, and i only experienced a little chatter in the beginning but it evened itself out later on and they do an amazing job. if you follow the break-in procedure......wiping the solution.....5-10 minute dry run.....make sure u put them on right...then theyll be fine...but piaa recommends u replace the wipers every 1 or 2 years i believe
