PIAA silicone wiper refills

does anyone know if these refills fit the stock blades?

with winter here, i realize why they designed our blades that way, and would like to keep it.

according to piaa, the 16" blade is 6mm and 25" blade is 8mm wide.

if i get a chance today, i might just measure the inserts myself and answer my own question. hehe

bosch Icons are pretty good. i havent replaced it on the Fit yet, but i got whole replacements on the other cars.

just go to Honda dealer and get OEM insert for simplicity's sake.

i got the whole thing not just the insert, the icons are slimmer than the stock which i like, and the stock was still making a lot of noise even after i flipped the blades

Sorry to bump an old thread.... but is it possible to replace the rear wiper insert with the PIAA Super Silicones? As I'm wanting to replace the god awful front wiper blades completely.

Bumping this back up again. Has anyone found silicone inserts/replacement blades that work in the original wiper blade housing?

Or should I just get some Valeo Ultimate blades? I'd much rather have PIAA Silicone blades, since they work wonderfully on our Subaru.

Thanks!

How do you remove the original rubber blade from the wiper? Can't figure it out.

******************

Ok, I figured it out. I bought the triple edge wiper and just replaced the refill. Works great.
