This was my third set (three different cars) of PIAA wipers. I'd tried seven different brands of premium wipers over several years before installing the ones from PIAA. All of the other brands (mostly rubber compound wipers, but two were silicone blades) started squeaking and juddering after six to nine months. The PIAA are smooth and silent even after several years of use.
The assembly and installation isn't intuitive and the lack of written instructions is a bit frustrating. Just having some drawings of the parts to allow you to determine which of the pieces to use for your particular wipers is helpful, but insufficient. Instructions on how to remove the pre-installed adapter, noting the arrows on the pieces to help get the adapters aligned right, and maybe a reference site for how to remove the old wipers would be helpful.
These are great wipers. I'm glad I bought them, they're so smooth and they feel high quality. I'm sure they'll last for years to come. Remember to look at the order notes for what adapter to use. My Toyota Corolla 2013 LE didn't need an adapter. The QR code has the instructions, there's none in the package itself. I bought the right size (26", 16") and only a small amount of the lower left corner and the upper right corner aren't in the wiping radius. A million times better than the stock wipers I've had for years, to be sure.
I have had several sets of these wipers and put them on all my cars. Annually I keep my windshield clean of any micro debris by cleaning it like you do paint prep and ceramic coat it every year or two and by doing that these wipers have lasted a good 5+ years making them economical. Their wiping ability is incredible.
