Wiper blades PIAA or Denso

Denso, work pretty well

PIAA silicone blades. They last for years.

Denso Designer hybrid low-profile frame wipers. The Denso wipers are what came OEM on my 2009 Subaru Forester and they just work great and last. They also look great on cars that have the traditional hook attachment. You don't get that big center block with extraneous mounting holes. The wiper sits flush with the arm. I've used them on a Miata, a Mazda 2, an Odyssey, and a '97 Accord.

FWIW, I found the stock wipers I had pulled off the car before really using them to go with the PIAAs. Not sure why, but the stock work so much better than the PIAAs, which were really starting to pi%s me off. Anyway, thanks to the contributors to this thread...it didn't even dawn on me to put the OEMs back on...though it was a design flaw with the wiper arm not having enough tension on it or something.

Silicon blades are the way to go. They last way longer and have a cleaner wipe which is why you don't see them at most retail locations.

Just installed the PIAA blades and they are significantly better than the OEMs in my opinion. They're quieter and no skipping.

After trying a lot of different blades over the years, these days I order Denso Designer blades for all my cars from Rockauto (not affiliated, just a fan). They were OEM on my '09 Subaru Forester and they work great and last a long time.

PIAA 95055 Super Silicone Wiper Blades are the best damn wiper blades I've ever used. Really recommend them.

Mine were crap from day 1...left a 4" drivers side streak on first use. Swapped in PIAA Si Techs...perfect since.

Anyway, got Denso replacement wipers and they're working really well so far. Denso 160-3124 and 160-3118 are the part numbers in case you look into them, 18\" passenger and 24\" driver
