Piaa96145 Aero Vogue Silicone Wiper Blade - 18"" 450mm (Pack of 1)"

Very good item works nice and quiet

Been using PIAA wipers for decades. My last set on my Land Cruiser lasted over 5yrs. That’s super impressive for several reasons, but mainly because I live in Portland Oregon where it rains a lot.

I installed these on my 14 Jeep Wrangler. I've had these on other automobiles of mine in the past so it only makes sense to upgrade to the best on my Wrangler. Yes, these blades last about 5 years or so. The longest duration I've had a PIAA set of silicon wipers for was about 6 years. They just last and their performance is excellent. Toward end of life they chatter a bit. That just tells you they are getting old. Of course, for the ultimate in wet-weather clarity, its best to use some Rainex or the like on your windows two or three times a winter/spring. Makes these babies just work even better and it extends their lives. These don't do too well in frigid cold, so if you live in the North, it's best to slap on a cheaper pair of rubber units, unless you like tossing your moolah away ;) We have it a bit easier here in CA! TIP: Next time you wash your car, just take a rag to the blades and give them a good wipe. That keeps 'em happy!

I purchases the 24" and 19" PIAA Aero Vogue Silicon wipers for my mom's 2005 Camry. It has been using Bosch Icon wipers for the past 3 years and have worked well, but a recent storm cracked the windshield and had to be replaced. When that was done, I installed the new PIAA wipers. They do an amazing job since they are made from silicon. It cleans the water off, does not streak or chatter, and there is no noise. It was a toss up between the Aero Vogue and the Si-Tech, but the Aero Vogue is still made in Japan while the Si-Tech is now being made in Vietnam (lower quality).On a side note, I did try PIAA wipers on my 2009 Altima. The Aero Vogue 26 or 28" on the drivers side and 17" on the passenger side, but due to the curvature of the glass, several inches of the blade do not even touch the glass. I then tried the Si-Tech 26" and 17" on the Altima, and they do it and make full contact with the glass. But when used at high wiper speed, part of the wiper place arm is turning under and makes a loud squeaking noise. So I ended up buying a new pair of Bosch Icons for the Altima.

I used these for many years and when I purchased the new car I forgot all about these wipers. They are the best you can get for the money. I strongly recommend these for any car. A little pricey but worth it.

I recently decided to try PIAA's silicone wipers, and this is the model I chose. Intending to order directly from PIAA, I had technical difficulty with their order page. When I contacted PIAA, they said the simplest solution was to order through amazon, and so I did.They arrived right before departure for a week long road trip from New Mexico, through Arizona, Nevada, and California in the month of April when weather patterns in the intermountain west can be volatile. When the package arrived, one wiper had clearly been previously opened. Neither wiper included the windshield silicone prep pad, nor the selection of adaptors to assure the blades would fit on any car—both of which PIAA provides with each wiper blade they sell.Knowing I couldn't possibly get amazon to respond in time for my departure, I chose to call PIAA again. I explained my problem, and my urgency. We both understood that the issue was amazon's responsibility, not PIAA's. Nonetheless, the customer care person at PIAA made the gracious offer to send the adaptor kit and the prep packets to help me out. I suggested that priority mail was significantly faster than UPS, in my experience, and the agent at PIAA agreed to send the package priority mail that Friday afternoon. Both of us were aware of the unlikely chance that the package would make it from Oregon to New Mexico before my departure Monday afternoon, but they made the effort anyway.Astonishingly, the parts DID arrive midday Monday, and I left on the most amazing adventure with these new silicone blades on the car. High praise to PIAA's attention to detail and willingness to satisfy their customers! amazon, not so much.So far, the silicone prep on the windshield has been as impressive as the wiper blades themselves. Time will tell how they stack up in extended use.

It uses a J-hook attachment. The description doesn't explain that. The J-hook doesn't fit my wiper arm. One of the pictures in the description shows some kind of adapter, but it wasn't included in the package. I went to PIAA's web site and sent a message asking about the missing adapter, and they ignored me. So I had to order an adapter from Amazon for another 8 bucks to be able to use the wiper blade.

2024 update. Still on my car no issuesI came back to review these because I realized that I have had these blades for 4 years now! I bought these in October 2017 because I wanted the aero blade style and I had done some research on these silicone blades and thought I'd give a try.I've tried all wiper blades from the super cheapo's that chatter right out of the package and Rain-X blades which start well but don't seem to hold up. PIAA blades are absolutely the best I've ever had. I live in the midwest so there is rain and snow, and not as much dust/dirt and these blades are still going strong 4 years later. If they start getting streaky, just clean off the blade well with a good wipe and they come back just fine. I will never buy another brand again.
