Overview
The PIAA Super Silicone Wiper Blade 95043 is a 17 Inch (430mm) left-position wiper blade for vehicles with hook and pin style arms. A wiper blade is the rubber element that clears water from the windshield. This one uses a silicone-infused insert that PIAA Lighting says reduces streaking and noise compared with standard rubber.
The Super Silicone design is a long-running line in PIAA’s wiper range. It fits vehicles from 1984 through 2017, mostly SUVs, trucks and crossovers, including the Jeep Wrangler LJ and TJ, Toyota 4Runner and Tacoma, Mazda CX-9 and several Mercedes-Benz ML models.
Key features
- Silicone rubber forms a water repellent barrier that promotes water beading.
- Lower surface tension supports streak free performance and quiet operation.
- The rubber is designed to keep a sharp, clean edge in a range of conditions.
- A balanced frame applies equal pressure points for even, quiet wiping.
- Designed to fit most hook and pin style wiper arms.
Installing a silicone blade
Silicone-infused rubber feels different from standard rubber, with a smoother edge contact on the glass. Many drivers notice quieter operation and fewer streaks after the first few passes, but the result depends on a clean windshield and a blade that seats properly on the arm.
Before installing, match the blade length to the one you remove, and confirm the attachment. Hook and pin style arms use a specific connector, and a mismatched arm can let the blade lift or rattle. Lay the old blade beside the new one to compare the frame shape and the length of the rubber.
After fitting, run the wipers on wet glass and watch for skipping or uneven contact. Clean the windshield with washer fluid and a soft cloth to remove film left by road grime, which can shorten rubber life. Replace the blade if streaking returns, the edge tears or the wipers begin to chatter.
- Smooth edge contact after installation
- Matching length and attachment before buying
- Clean glass before the first use
- Recheck fit after a few weeks of use
