Update on SilBlade Windshield Wipers
I had a race this weekend and I came in dead middle. My class was running only 3 cars, I came in second. Everyone running consisted of roughly 100 people, I came in 50th. I hit no cones. It was pouring down rain half of my runs.
Luckily I had SilBlade. Even when the wipers weren’t on I had a relatively clear view in front of me. They seem to have some additive on the blades that bead up rain on the windshield. I must say, I wasn’t too keen on this at first. However(and there is always a however in life) I fell in love with the beading rain, and the SilBlade, this week.
Normally when it rains, I have a thin layer of water streaming down my windshield. This is not good at high speeds when you need to see where you are actually going. Even with a light mist, the ability to see out the windshield is greatly improved.
Now to the wiper. I say wiper because I purchased only one. What can I say, I’m cheap and I wanted to compare directly the difference. The SilBlade wiper glides smoothly over the windshield weather it’s wet or not. While my passenger side blade is chattering due to lack of lubrication, the SilBlade on the driver side is perfectly wiping the light mist away. That sold me on this blade instantly.

To give you an idea of what it was like sunday, here is a video of a fellow autocrosser… And this was the dry part of the day.
