Derek_ZR Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Remember reading about the silicone ones, can't remember what they were called. What do they cost approx and where is best to get them ? Am I right in saying someone on here sold them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 PIAA wipers. BigPhil supplies them. Might be best ringing him as he's having difficulty getting online i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 You can aslo get them direct from PIAA. http://www.piaa.co.uk/wipers/wipers.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaave Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I got the PIAA ones and TBH I'm not sure they're that much better then normal. You still get streaks in between the supporting joints on the arm (uneven pressure). I'd be tempted to try some flat blade wipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Just put a set of the new style flat blades on - was fed up with smears on the passenger side ( no spoiler ). New ones ( about £20 off ebay ) have spoilers on both sides, plus even pressure across the length of the blade - so far so good Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Are these new ones as fitted to the MY07 Z, ie a Nissan supplied part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Jim, Not sure if the MY07 Zed has them. The ones I fitted were not a Nissan part just a generic set of blades of the correct size eg http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-350Z-2003- ... dZViewItem Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinbad Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Must say i never had a problem with the PIAA, in fact im going to get some more for my new car they were that good! I didnt have any streaks at all and found i didnt need to use the wipers as much as the coating of RainX (i think) it applies with every sweep helps to beed the rain off. I did regret buying the rear PIAA though as i hardly used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaave Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Off topic i know but hi Daaave don't think i have ever seen you here Hi mate, I joined ages ago but I don't post much. Just look in on the odd occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I got the PIAA ones and TBH I'm not sure they're that much better then normal.

I buy something different if I was buying some now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu2 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 hmm I have PIAA ones and find they do a fine job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moff Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Try the BOSCH wipers I swear by them. You can get them from Hellford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have some of those flat looking things, I thought mine had two blades though... Who knows. I think they are bosch or something. Got them from local motor parts store and they have been great for the 6 months they've been on. Really sad I know but they look better too!
