Built to fit over 98% of wiper arms, this 650mm blade swaps into most OEM connections for a straightforward upgrade. It resists ice and snow buildup, withstands heat and ozone, and continuously leaves a thin silicone layer on the windshield to promote beading and smooth operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this wiper improve visibility in wet weather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Si-Tech silicone lip forms a water-repellent barrier that helps rain form beads and roll off the glass faster than standard rubber.
