Okay... I've looked them up and I'm intrigued. Anyone else use them? What model do you use? I'm looking at Super Sporza... Maybe SiTech. Anyone?

I'm using Bosch Evolutions as an all season wiper. So far so good.

I've used Bosch Icons in the past. The best wiper I have ever used hands down!!!! The last pair I had on my car lasted over 2 yrs ( and the car is not garaged) until they started to deteriorate.
I would have used the Icons but they were not available at the time I need a replacement.

i use the super silicone, the sporza is the same as teh super silicone except it comes with a spoiler for high speeds

i never liked the design where there is no full blade on(like the SiTech), i've tried lots of those styles and hated all of them, they lose grip on the ends all the time, i also tried bosch and exact fit and armor all, didn't like any of em

good thing about piaa super silicone is the rubber strip is replaceable instead of buying an entirely new blade

I've been using (and not much help here) the top of the line wipers from Auto Value. They have a 1 year warranty that i've used 3 times now. Whenever there is as much as a streak, i just take it off and bring it in and they swap it out. They are a springless Goodyear wiper i beleive. Like $25-30 each.

Just landed some icons. Looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about!


Edit:

Okay- I got them on. Yes, folks- even I can install these. Easily! First impression remains extremely positive. I mean- really really Good.

I was really having a problem with streaking- fortunately I've found these wipers helped. Now I keep my clothes on.

At least while you're driving please.

BTW, claying the windshield periodically really helps.

Thumbs up great rain and snow set-up

By the way...first snow of the season here in Wisconsin. The neoforms worked awesome but it wasn't a ice situation, just snow and a lot of white, powdery salt water to constantly keep clean. Super quiet...which is my pet peeve.

I don't clay, but I do use aquapel glass treatment. Each application lasts 6 months and I think it makes the wipers work better as well.
