Not Piaa brand but...

I got some 100% silicone blades from someplace in upstate NY - Silicone Specialties or something; they were less than adequate because they left a film on the glass and they really drag causing the relatively long, flexible blades on my '98 Passat to skip and drag unless there was a lot of water on the glass, they were a little better than that on the MB but I prefer Bosch Micro-edge, they glide on the glass and they last a long time.

PIAA blace is strange.

I followed the manual.

I cleaned the windshield with wather and soap (I used Windex instead of soap).
Applied the wet tissure provided.
Waited for 10 minutes.
Operated wiper for 5 minutes dry.

While I was operating wiper dry, it made annoying noise.

It was not raining but I wanted to test the wiper. So I simply sprayed windwhield washer fluid.

The PIAA wiper made the windshield very foggy.

I removed PIAA wiper.


In addition, it did not have adapter really good for MB W124.



If I had not tested and removed PIAA, I might have had accident due to foggoy windshield.

My PIAA was good

But they recommend changing them every year. The J connection gets loose over time from use.
