PIAA Wiper Refill

Just want to ask, does PIAA produces wiper refill for these sizes:

Size: 8.6mm
Length: 350mm and 650mm

I am looking these sizes about 2 weeks but unfortunately did not find anything for this brand. I do not know whether Malaysia does not has these sizes or not. Where can I find these sizes?

In the USA, the OEM rubber wiper inserts are quite inexpensive, even from the dealers.

Do you have the factory blade holders or are you looking for refills for the PIAA aftermarket blades?

Id say stick with factory for now. Aftermarket ones, while they can be better, can also be pricey at times. Factory ones for my camry are less then $15 a piece. some aftermarket ones for my big wipers can be as expensive as $40. Why not stock if they work well?

I just bought inserts from dealer for around $16 for the pair. Much better than some aftermarket ones I tried.

It is fun putting the inserts in the first time -)

See I grew up before there was TV and had never heard of a computer.

i am using genuine honda frame but thinking to replace the wiper inserts to PIAA as i did to my gd1. to me, piaa works better than stock one. it wipes cleaner than stock one. but can't find the exact size and length for piaa. in malaysia, the stock and piaa almost at the same price.
