    I've got the PIAA super silicone on mine as well and I have never been more happy with wipers!

    Thanks for all the input. I read about the Bosch after I had put the rainx on. I'll probably take that route next time.

    Rain??? I've forgoten what that's like too. I need the wipers though because some tree in my yard sprays some kind of sticky sap all over so both the washer & wipers are used daily. If it ain't the tree spraying sap the only other thing I can think of is the squirrels are pissing on my P&J - Not Good!!!

    Why not. I've got locusts living under my pool (trust me - it's unique). Might as well have bugs pooping on my cars.

    Trouble is though that the residue is clear. Never heard of clear poop before.

    The PIAA's from Weathertech are the best blades I have ever used.

    Rain-X on the windshield also helps.

    I use Isuzu OEM wiper blades. I use to buy just the wiper baldes and they work very good. A few months ago I went to Isuzu to buy new wiper blades and they said that they do not sell the blades alone, I had to buy the entire metal attachment with the wiper blades. I told them I only needed the blades that the metal attachment I have was in good condition. No luck. I had to buy the whole unit. So now I am going with after market wiper blades. I will try the blades recommended on this thread. Thanks.

    Have you noticed most wiper blades are now proprietary? The refills are no longer swapable.

    I run the PIAA's. But last time I ordered the refills, the local 4x4 store charged me shipping and handling because they don't stock the just the refills, making the refills more than the whole assembly.

    Icons! Sure it's not bat pee? Hundreds of bats would pour from the hay loft of our barn at dusk each nite. If you stood under the opening, you got peed on! Guess bats gotta go when they wake up, too.

    I had the PIAA blades (i bought them from weathertech) on for about 4 yrs before I had to replace them; and even then they were still doing a good job... So I replaced them with the exact same thing...

    Funny how the packages says replace once a year (just like rubber compound blades) yet they last SO much longer.

    PIAA's on the windshield

    I have PIAA's on my BeeVenom along with rain-X coating and they've been great for three years now. No complaints whatsoever.
