Carbon fiber look is it?

 

[Izso]

Nah.

As you can see from the pic, the clip where you push down to release the wiper has been cut off. You can't release my wiper without a testpen.

I guess so but not the sticker type, is totally the frame itself has the design of a carbon fibre.

You keep mentioned your RM30 PIAA later bro Izso smack u la bro

What say we all go find where Danzeterna lives and steal all his wipers?

Then we can see how long he'll have his----->

Heheheheheheh


I personally hate that PIAA CF wiper. I doubt it's original CF considering the price. It's probably laminated plastic and it's way too flashy!

Yes, is flashy which is why, I'm kinda worried to have it installed. Unless using your way of
breaking the clip. At least it helps.

Can only have such wipers on cars that only parked at Valet Parking

[Izso]

Finally today I bought a pair of silicone wipers @ RM99

I find it not noisy as claimed by many, only some streaky sound when its dry....

Well I guess everything will be noisy when its dry, only water makes the difference.

Overall I am not too satisfied with the SW because even its a 26 in blade, it wipes only like 23inches

The remaining 3 inches at the top end is not in contact with the windscreen..

I think the blade is curved and not straight flat...

Is it normal or its faulty?

Any comment any idea anyone ? :questionmark::hmmmm2::motz:

 

[vr2turbo]

You talking about the flat surface of the windscreen? If yes, then wiper should be faulty. If talking about the side, the windscreen curves, so if wipers to long the ends won't touch, that is why I shorten my wiper purchase for the left one by 1 inch....

What brand?

SWV and PIAA both need the windscreen to be very very clean prior to installation and usage, and come with a alcohol wipe to wipe clean the windscreen. PIAA in particular is important as it leaves behind a layer on the windscreen to repel water, I suspect is silicon.

Most silicone wipers does that. Even my cheapo one, long time I have not apply rain X already.....

My I dont see any brand, I trusted the salesperson, he even fixed for me, but if he play dirty, I will throw the wipers back and ask for full refund...

But be honest, my cars wiper mounting is not the ordinary type, so its a specialised product gotto pay
more even its of the same quality...

Will test the wipers few more days to see if the end wipes evenly, if not got to go back and see him..

Today I already bent the untouched side of the wipers, hope it performs perfectly...

My PIAA ones came with multiple different clips to clip onto the wiper arms. Also Duraplus silicon wipers are absolute crap. The last time I used this wiper the silicon (supposed to be silicon) deformed and the metal bracket holding the wiper had direct contact on my windscreen. So it basically scratched the windscreen like hell and there wasn't anything I could do since it was raining.
