Wiper blades PIAA or OEM Mazda

My OEM wipers lasted a year. I decided to go with PIAA silicone blades. They are working fantastic. I'm hoping they will last longer than a year.

PIAA silicone blades. They last for years.

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.

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.

Best so far for me have been PIAA wipers. I have them on my CC and my wife's car.

PIAA super silicone wipers last a very long time. My current ones are 4 years old and finally starting to streak. Its perfect for me because in sunny social it rains like 2 weeks every year. It coats your windshield like what rainx does too.

PIAA super silicone. I've had this last set since 2007.. Still clear. no rips, PIAAs are the hands down best
