Anyone have experience with these? They’re quite pricey, are they worth it? ---

Silicone wiper blades seem to have good[reviews](https://www.reviewlab.com/best-wiper-blades) generally and I’ve used other Rain X blades that did the job. I’m looking aT PIAA’s offerings when I’m due to replace ours. ---

My experience suggests silicone edge blades are no better than name brand medium grade, conventional blades for _most_ of the year. Ice seems to stick less tenaciously to the silicone blades though, IMHO. If you’re like me with no garage and you’re scraping your windshield every morning for three months of the year, the blades are worth a shot.
