Yep, that's a great guarantee, but it doesn't let you upgrade to the better silicone wipers.

You won't believe the improvement in wiping ability and how silent the wipers are now. I've done this on all my cars now.

On Tirerack's site, when I select the refills for a 2006 997.1, it pops this notice:

Note: 22" Refill for PIAA wiper only . Not compatible with OE wiper s. (6mm width) -Not compatible with PIAA SI-Tech wipers.

Is there a different PIAA refill that is compatible with the OE wiper?

Got the inserts installed (part # 94055), easy process, and they fit and work great.

Curious if folks are reapplying the windshield treatment periodically, or if the initial application can last the life of the refills.

thanks for all the great info.
