These are superior, durable and quiet blades. Just bought a set for our cx-5. The traditional blade seems to work better than the beam blade this replaced on a 1999 corolla.

Silicone wiper blades for me have lasted the longest in a hot dry environment without cracking. I live in the desert sw so rain isn't common. Rain x-like window wax treatment that is included also works well and is easy to apply and buff off by hand.

It is important to periodically clean the surface of the blades to remove any debris. It promotes optimal operation and extends the life of the blade.

The wipers work flawlessly and make no noise. Never had to turn them up higher than the slowest setting.

The wipers leave the same haze that i could not get rid of from my earlier experiment. The just smear water all over the windscreen. Makes squeaking noises.

Loved them at first, quite, didn't chatter or leave black marks on my window. I feel like i was lied to and borderline scammed.

For the 14 order, the tape wasn't centered on the shipment box. The plastic container for the wiper was left open on the bottom and looked like it was tampered with. Either amazon or piaa needs to rectify their listing or their product.
