Just purchased PIAA Silicone wipes/blades-

[kahnartist]

I was reading a post on another Ridgeline forum about these Silicone wiper blades. Seem they break down less than regular rubber, but of course, cost about 4X as much.

I just purchased a pair of PIAA blades from SCO (Sport Compacts Only) for my 2002 Nissan Maxima and aim to have them on this week.
The 06 Ridgeline still has 'good' wipers on them...maybe I'll get them next year for hubby.

Both PIAA and Silblade make these silicone wiper blades.

I think you need to buy the entire wiper and blade. These manufacturers aren't dummies. They make blades that won't fit in your OEM wipers so you are forced to purchase the metal portion as well.

Big expense at first, then 'normal' rubber blade replacement price there after. My Maxima driver side is 26"--so I'm paying about $12 for cheap stuff from Pep Boys!

Try GOOGLING for either PIAA Silicone wiper blades or Silblade. Amazon.com has them and usually has good holiday specials. Let the forum know how the blades work for you, your truck and other vehicles if so inclined.
