97065 Si-Tech Silicone Wiper Blade - 26" 650mm (Pack of 1)

Almost one year now... no signs of aging.... it wipes perfectly...

Perfect fit

So far so good. The wiper design is very easy to install on the J hook design used by Toyota. I didn't need to use any of the included adapters, which I'm happy about since I've read that they sometimes break or come apart with snow and ice.As for performance, they seem to work just as good as any rubber wiper. I feel as though my windshield is more clear even when it isn't raining. But that could just be my mind playing tricks on me.I used the 17" and 26" but there is a small gap between them which doesn't completely catch all the water. This is likely due to the universal design because it never happened with my Toyota brand wipers. No big deal though since it doesn't affect visibility. I'd much rather a small gap than have wipers that smack against each other.Overall, I think these wipers are worth the money, not even because they claim they last longer (which I hope they do). But so long as the actual frame holds up, I can simply buy the replacement silicone strip for about the same price as an entire replacement rubber wiper.- - - - - - - - - - - - - -EDIT: I bought these in Oct 2018, and today is only a few days away from Oct 2021. The wiper blades aren't as smooth as they were 3 years ago but they've survived this long - 2 different vehicles, 3 summers and 3 winters - with the same blades... Thats impressive, if you ask me. The larger blade feels a bit loose because a small piece of the plastic broke in one place but to my surprise it hasn't fallen off. I give these a 10/10.

I have many problems with original wiper from Volkswagen, it was vibrating heavily, and the i tried Bosch, which reduced the problem to about 70%. But with this wiper, it reduces to max, and it now went very quiet and smooth. I will be a loyal returning customer for this product from now on.

Seit vielen jahren an meinem Jeeps im EInsatz, uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen!

I received my PIAA 97055 22-Inch (550mm) Si-Tech Silicone Wiper Blades on time as scheduled. The wiper blades are packaged and sold individually, so you’ll need to look up what blades are available for your specific vehicle. Inside the long plastic package contains the actual wiper blade (not wiper refill), various snap-on adapters to fit every style wiper arms (if needed) and a packet of wet silicone wipes for the windshield.As instructed on the outside packaging, I cleaned the front windshield to a spotless shine. I then used the large wet silicone wipes and gently rubbed little circles over the entire front windshield and let it dried to a haze. I took a slightly damp microfiber towel to remove all the remaining haze, and then took another dry microfiber towel to polish the glass to perfection. I know through years of experience in the performance automotive industry that windshield wipers work best with clean a windshield and wiper edge.The installation was a breeze, the windshield wiper mounting point is able to accept two of the most popular mounting styles without the use of any adapters. However, if the basic mounting system doesn’t fit you still have many adapters to choose from to make it work. I installed mine in 10 seconds flat per windshield wiper.I tested these windshield wipers in the harshest conditions of Chicago, Illinois during the most inclement weather conditions! I didn’t even have to use the highest speed on the windshield wipers to be truly effective on the heaviest rain. It was easy to see everything through the windshield during the worst rain ever whether it be day or evening, just incredible. The windshield wipers were extremely quiet at all speeds settings, no streaks and no chattering noise. I know that the silicone wipes helps with the performance of these windshield wipers through water beading and dispersion, but I know that after the stuff wears off, the wipers will still work regardless of the silicone wipes. I have these windshield wipers blades on five of my personal vehicles. I have two offroad vehicles with these windshield wipers blades for over 10 plus years and they still work perfectly even with dirty windshields and no silicone on the windshield. My vehicles has been through extreme temperatures hot and cold for over ten years, but my windshield wipers has never failed me, period! It’s expensive (about $70.00 for the pair, but well worth it. You get what you pay for, so I’d give it two thumbs up!

It clears my windshield very well.
