Piaa 94048 Silicone Wiper Blade Refill, 19"" (Pack of 1)"

Fit like a glove on my 2005 Acura RL. Come with the metal inserts.

These silicon wipers are far superior to rubber type wiper blades. I’ve bought PIAA silicone replacement wiper blades (and subsequent refills) for six vehicles over many years. ADVANTAGES: 1) Long life, I’ve used them for over five years before replacing while still working well at that age. 2) Lack of streaking, wipes clean. 3) No shuddering, silicone blade deposits silicone with use acting as a lubricant. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using the disposable silicone cloth applicator yearly (sometimes included-other times sold separately) on your windshield AFTER a most thorough glass cleaning, including clay bar contaminant cleaning. 4) Rain beads and runs off. 5) Economy, inexpensive overall

Bought for 2013 VW jetta. They took some work to get them into the slots, but I knew this going in. I also had to make some small adjustments with a razor, no big deal though they were just ever so slightly too long. These have been going strong for over a year and I expect many more years of excellent performance out of them. Silicone is the wiper blade to go with, chances are you will never have to replace.

Some background: We originally got these PIAA silicone wiper blades for our Subaru Forester (2002 S model), and they were the ones that included the wiper blade bracket (part that holds the wiper and connects to the arm). That was almost three years ago, and the blades only recently started to be less effective. Now, when I say less effective, I mean that they were probably still better than most other wiper blades, but we've become wiper blade snobs since using these! The wiper refills fit perfectly, and since I already knew which sizes we needed it was extremely easy to order the right ones. These wipers are the BEST. They wipe away water instantly, and the silicone coating makes water bead off the windshield when going over 25mph. They also hold up to frozen and winter conditions much better than regular blades. We've never had an issue the snow or ice with them. And c'mon, our old ones lasted THREE YEARS! We will always buy these blades and recommend them to everyone we can. (note: I wrote the same review for the 21" blade refill as well, since our car takes two different sizes for the front wipers)

Great vendor. Super quick delivery. Fit was perfect. Will buy again.
