PIAA Super Sporza wipers

Anyone ever tried these? I noticed that the smallest size is 19". Will this fit on the drivers side?

Aren't those the one-piece looking wipers? I have the Valeos from Tirerack - nice wipers in winter (don'w ice up too badly and clear easily) but they don't touch all the way on the passenger side due to the curvature of the windshield. Also, the mounting point acts as a windblock and can create a streak of water right in the middle at certain speeds.

I'll go back to OE in spring... these are good for winter. I went 18's on both so can't speak to the 19 question - but a 19 is only 1/2" longer at each end, measure and see how close that'd be.

No, these are the silicone ones. See them here.

I think the 19's will fit, also wanted to get any reviews from folks who have had them.

I installed the PIAA Super Sporza 19" blades on both the drivers and passengers side today. They fit nicely if not perfectly. They also look great and I expect they will work great too. I'll post a review after it rains.

im sure u will love the results! i have them for more than a year at least, and i live in vancouver, BC..where it rains more than anything. its still working very well, water beads and repel away fairly easily, far better visibility in poor weather/lighting condition.

it sure is one of my most satisfying investment
