I've had the PIAA silicone blades on both cars now for several months. They are outstanding!!! Wifey's RX had a problem with chattering developing fairly quickly; very annoying to drive. Replace blades and it'd be OK for a month or so, then same thing all over again. They've been on for 5 months with no trace of recurrence. (The GS never did it, and I've talked to several RX owners who say theirs don't either, so maybe my wife's ride was just peculiar. No more, though. Just blessed silence, streak free!)

Well worth it!!

Yeah I keep on hearing nothing but good things said about the Piaa Blades... At first I was skeptical I figured they'd be just like any other wiperblade and I'd be just buying the name... But with everything I keep on hearing I guess not....

In my opinion, you just have to get a decent brand that uses silicone or teflon coating instead of just plain rubber. I just got a pair of what I believe are Teflon coated silicone wipers from www.silblade.com and can tell you that they are cheap (~$14/each) and come with a 5 year warranty.
