I know they are available online, but all the sites charge some outrageous prices for shipping and handling that it would be cheaper to buy them locally. So, has anyone found PIAA wiper blades at a Kragens or other parts store local to the Bay Area, near San Bruno?

Oddly enough, Costco used to have 'em, but now all they have are those teflon ones.

 

no problem, i go buy there all the time, kind of a rice shop, but they do have nice smelling jdm air freshners!!!

 

yess i get the bosch ones from napa.. good price

plus i use rain-x... those two combos will make you ready for rain

 

AHHHHHH!!!! Too many animated gifs.... i think i'm having a seizure!!! ohh noesss1!!!1!

 

well, the whole reason i want to go silicon is it lasts longer in more extreme conditions than rubber or rubber compound, regardless of whether or not it's teflon coated. I was also considering going with silblades (www.silblade.com) but their ordering system blows. You can't differentiate if you want a driver's side or passenger's side wiper when you order, and ours are 22 drivers side and 17 passanger's side. Silly site . So I guess I keep looking for PIAA's.

what are you talking about? why don't you just enter your car information and how many blades you want? you can just write or call them and make sure they're sending you a 17 and a 22. and a 15 if you have a wagon.

 

I did try to call them.... first few times, no contact, next couple of times, hold until death. I gave up.

that's whack.

 

Shadowcat I got your message, I will give you call early in the week!

 

nothing wrong with the trico teflon blades, right? i'm using them (from costco) right now....have been through rain, mud, and snow with these and they work well.
