Do a search, this has been discussed before












HAHA just kidding. Please don't hurt me!
Anyways, I have the PIAAs and they look cool cause they have PIAA printed on them. I got the black ones because i'm not a huge carbon fiber fan. They work ok. You have to prep the windshield by cleaning it thoroughly, then you're supposed to run the wipers for 10 minutes to lay down a base coat of silicone. When I installed mine, I already had Rain-X on the windshield, so I think the silicone and rain-x mixed and didn't work well together. I also never ran the wipers for 10 minutes. Even so, they seem to work pretty well, even in heavy rain. But for the $44 I paid for both sides, I should have stuck with rain-x for $6 a bottle. I just got tired of having to reapply it every few weeks.

I think DaveB quoted me:
Wiper inserts- $6.84 LH, $4.57 RH

That's just the rubber parts that you have to insert into the metal holders.

How did you already go through your 2K2 wipers? If that's the case I would not buy the same wipers again.

My friends and I decided to help this guy out of a ditch in heavy rain and mud.
So i parked my car near the ditch.
Well there was so much mud that It f*cked up my blades.
