PIAA has provided high performance silicone wiper blades to the automotive aftermarket industry since 1984. PIAA silicone wipers have the perfect combination of design and quality components that ensure maximum performance in any weather condition. The silicone wiper inserts of all PIAA wipers are constructed from a patented silicone infused rubber. With every wipe, the windshield is coated with water repellent silicone solution. This coating lowers the surface tension between the water and the windshield, allowing the rain to bead up and be wiped away streak-free with no noise or chatter. Not only do they have excellent performance, but the silicone rubber stands up to the elements much better than traditional rubber. This dramatically increases the life of the wiper. All PIAA silicone wiper blades come with a silicone solution prep-pack that thoroughly cleans the windshield. The silicone prep-pad also consists of the same silicone solution that is embedded into the silicone rubber that promotes water beading and decreases surface tension, for maximum streak free operation.
