Just a heads up. When replacing wiper blades, protect your windshield with a thick towel folded several times. That wiper arm without the blade can accidentally slam down and crack your windshield.

Thanks Scotty! This is my experience also. Silicon works better and lasts far, far longer. The PIAA brand you display in this video is what I use. This is a Japanese brand, and they are less costly than Bosch silicon blades. For many years I used Bosch blades. They used to sell blades which were designed to take refills; but have now discontinued the refillable blades. This is wasteful and costly... so I wound up being a customer of PIAA. And, guess what? That's right, PIAA wiper blades are refillable, just like the old style ANCO and Bosch blades were, but they are made of silicon! PIAA makes an astonishingly good product.

@@norman7179 Yes, I noticed. But they didn't all make this change simultaneously. Bosch held out long after the others, until they began to make the Icon blade line, which is very sleek and expensive. No need to continue making the OG style when you can foist over priced metrosexual blades on a fickle customer base I abhore the sheer material waste of a wiping blade "component". IMO they are an ecological insult.

@JoeBlowski
@JoeBlowski 3 жыл бұрын
Very rare for roofs to leak, but it's very common for passenger floor floods due to failure of the gasket between the hole in the metal firewall and the plastic AC/heat housing outlet where AC condensation exits through a rubber flapper to drip onto the ground which is easy to fix by applying silicone caulk between the metal firewall and the plastic after removing the right front wheel and peeling back the plastic inner fender. I recommend putting some around the studs that penetrate the firewall in that area and finish by sealing around the fresh air intake screen in the cowl area which also fails letting windshield runoff to run freely into the AC/heat housing where, just like AC condensation, it exits through the pest control flapper drain which can be a major contributor to such floods, because it happens even when the AC is not being used. Maybe Scotty will take the hint and show how to do it if he hasn't already.

Had a '06 ML350 and that thing would break down so often (first 2 years - 4 fan belts, alternator and bracket, water pump, power steering pump, a/c compressor, brake pads and rotors on all 4's). After 6 yrs the intake manifold (aluminum) was deemed by MB to have deteriorated to a point where oil was leaking from its rear area. Luckily I've gotten the extended warranty but dumped that "money pit" once it expired. Got a '13 Lexus RX450h now and it has never gone in for any repair work. So far, only tires and oil changes. Bottom line.....stay away from MB that were built in the USA.

I had a choice between spending $20 (Rubber) or $40 (Silicone) on wiper blades. Took a chance, and spent $40 on the Silicone. 6 years later, they're 'okay' (they're clearly used, and the years show on them); but they still work great. When you mash it together with Rain-X and any ceramics that repels water, it really makes a difference at how often you're changing your wiper blades and your visibility when those products bead up the water and the blades simply push the water to the side. I have a set of spare Silicone blades, but I'm too lazy to replace them; even though I don't have a problem spending 5 hours applying ceramics (once every couple of years) and 15 minutes once every week cleaning my truck. A couple of times, I had thought about replacing my wiper blades; but they're so durable, that you can easily clean them with any Rain-X product and they'll be good as new for a while. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised those blades outlast the life of my truck.

My first pair of silicone blades lasted 5 years. They were Bosh Icons blades.

No Way mines are bosch aswell. My only issue is that they are very bulky compared to the regular rubber ones but i wont complain that much, i live in florida so its hot and rainy all the time these blades have lasted forever

I bought those as well. Lasted forever compared to rubber. Took me a long while to figure out why those lasted so much longer than everything else rubber I used. Finally I read the material used was not rubber! Thats what I get for assuming.

Icons were developed for storm chasers. They're made for tough conditions. I had one I bought as a replacement in a dire time on my first car for my drivers side, pound for pound it was 3x better than the rubber

Piaa make great wiper blades. I had a set years ago, cost about 48 bucks. Lasted over two years until I destroyed them in a ice storm. Quiet and they also give a "rain-x" like effect on the windshield even when not being used

is it still worth using rainx along side them? or wil it mess up the silicone coating?

Hey Scotty Kilmer, I love your channel. I live in Australia and I have watched hundreds of your videos over the past month after discovering you :). All of your videos are still relevant, as dodgy mechanics are everywhere even down under :). Keep it up, I have already learned so much from your advice and I am happy to re-watch your videos to help you get paid, because you are one in a generation. No one else is as generous with their time as you are, or as honest. Take care.
