Truck Hero Wiper Install

2018 GMC Sierra 1500 · Si-Tech Silicone Wiper Blades

It all started when the guys from Truck Hero dropped off their 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 for a top-secret photo shoot that could rival Area 51 security.

We had one of those overcast, drizzly Portland days, and we immediately found a glaring issue with this rig. The stock wiper blades were positively awful, almost more harmful than running no wipers at all.

So a quick U-turn and we were headed back to the shop, where we ripped the stock wipers off as fast as we could. After a prompt cleaning, we applied our windshield prep pack and installed our flat-blade Si-Tech silicone wiper blades. We were back on the road feeling safer, and clearly seeing the difference.

Windshield wipers in general haven't seen a major innovation in umpteen years, until we came along and decided to shake things up. Our blades are silicone-infused, standing up to all weather conditions far better than a standard rubber blade and giving drivers years of service, not months.

Beyond durability, our silicone technology creates a hydrophobic barrier on the windshield that sheds water, dirt, snow, ice, and pretty much whatever else nature throws at you. Those advantages are what make PIAA silicone wiper blades some of the highest-performing blades on the market.
