Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I don't write many reviews, but since I'm a big fan of Amazon, and it seems to have become one of the best repositories of product reviews on the internet, I decided to share my experiences with PIAA silicone wiper blade refills, and my solution to fitment problems.
I think PIAA silicone wiper blade refills are the best, and Amazon has a fair price (gotta love the free shipping too!). I had previously replaced my trucks wiper blades with PIAA silicone refills from Amazon, without event. They fit perfectly and work great.
So naturally, when the time came to replace my '06 Honda Odyssey's wiper blades, I turned to PIAA silicone refills from Amazon. The sizes specified by the "Find Parts That Fit Your Vehicle" finder within Amazon (and on PIAA's website too) are the 22" 94055 and the 26" 94065. Unfortunately, when I tried to install them, I discovered to my dismay, that the 22" blade is too narrow for my Odyssey's passenger side wiper claw. The problem is that on my Odyssey, the claw width for both the driver side and passenger side wipers is 5/16 inch. What Amazon doesn't tell you, but I eventually thankfully discovered at [...], is that the PIAA 15" - 22" silicone blade refills are 1/4" (6mm) wide, while the 24" - 28" blades are 5/16" (8mm) wide.
I was about to return everything and choose another brand of wipers, when the thought came to me that all I need to do is just order a 24" blade and use a Dremel to cut 2" off to use instead of the too narrow 22" 94055. The driver side 26" blade fits great without modification.
Interestingly, my other car, my '04 Acura TL, has a wider 5/16" claw width for the longer 26" driver side blade, and a narrower 1/4" claw width for the shorter 19" passenger side blade, so the PIAA blades work perfectly for it.
So make sure you measure your current wiper blade lengths and widths before ordering these otherwise great wiper blade refills!
