Overview
The PIAA Aero Vogue Hybrid 96135 is a 14 inch (350 mm) silicone wiper blade for the right wiper position, part number 96135 from PIAA Lighting. It is an aero style hybrid blade with a PC cover, and the manufacturer fitment list names 2014–2018 Acura MDX, 2013–2016 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport, and 2008–2014 Nissan Rogue among others.
PIAA says its patented silicone technology reduces surface tension, so water repels from the windshield for streak-free, quiet wiping. It also describes Pass Through technology in the aero cover that reduces blade chatter and wind lift at higher speeds.
Key features
- Patented silicone technology that repels water from the windshield
- Aero style PC cover designed to limit wind lift
- Pass Through design that PIAA says reduces chatter at higher speeds
- Silicone rubber that holds a sharp edge in all environments
- The aerodynamic cover gives the blade a streamlined appearance.
Replacing a hybrid blade
A hybrid wiper blade combines a flexible rubber or silicone element with a metal or plastic frame, so the blade can follow the curve of the windshield while keeping contact across the glass. Over time the wiping edge hardens, cracks or tears, and streaks, skipping and chatter are common signs that it needs replacing. Wiper blades are wear items, so checking them every few months and after winter is a simple habit that protects the glass.
When choosing a replacement, match the length and the arm connection to the blade you remove, since a correct length keeps the element in full contact with the glass. Wiper arms should also be inspected for bent or weak springs, because a worn arm can cause a new blade to skip. Keep the windshield clean, and clear grit with a damp cloth so the silicone edge does not scratch.
