Description of 🧼 Silblade Uni UB126 Hybrid Silicone Wiper Blade, 26 inch, Single-Pack

It has patented formulation, unaffected by UV, sunlight, ozone, oil and grime from road spray and Silbalde can withstand extreme temperatures as low as 80 Fahrenheit and as high as 400 Fahrenheit. Patented PTFE coating gives the silicone wiper its ability to effortlessly glide smoothly across your windshield. Silicon formulation leaves an invisible hydrophobic (water repellent) coating, which forms within 90 days from the first use. A sleek hybrid design with aerodynamic shape ensures enhanced contact with the windshield in high speed. Easy installation, it has preinstalled adaptor that fits the vast majority of vehicles and comes with additional adaptors to fit late model specific OEM (original equipment manufacturer) arm types.

3+ year life - Blades

My last pair lasted 3 years which is great for parking under a tree. The new pair was easy to install, wiped the rain well, and ran silently. The company recommends cleaning your windshield as the sheets age. I did this and it worked for several weeks. . then I replaced and couldn't be happier. Of course, the Bosch Icon is also available in a slightly larger size and lasts about two years. Or buy Silblade cheaper and get many more years.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Not all fit

Not as long as advertised

They've been advertising for years, not months. In my experience, that is simply not the case. The blade may retain its sharpness, but one blade has broken in less than a year and the replacement I ordered started stuttering and not making proper contact with the vib shield in less than six months. If you need to replace blades every few months, you can also buy cheaper blades that are designed that way.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are downsides

So much to say they last for years not months.

They just don't last long. They were good for my car for about 10 months and now they graze all the time. I made sure the blades are completely clean and free of debris and still have streaks. They also make a lot of noise. So much for their years of durability as I am on my second set after the first only lasted 2 years. This will be my last sentence as I'm looking for other blades that don't keep slipping. Buyer warning!

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Great customer service and workmanship

I bought this and the 26 inch for the driver's side. For some strange reason the adapter broke so I sent it back. I got it replaced within a few days! The construction is solid and the only problem was figuring out how to install it on my Volvo XC90. The instructions could be a little better, so there is only one star deduction, but the product itself is very well made. Super smooth and fits the windshield better than the most popular rubber version I've had. Very happy.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Slightly torn

fell apart after 14 months in California weather

I have been using Silblades for many years. Replaced the Bosch wiper blades (not cleaned) on my current car, on them in August 2019, today I went to the wipers and there was a piece dangling on this one which is on the passenger side. They store something under the hood so they aren't fully exposed to UV rays. When reading their description, they specifically describe the blades as 'years not months' otherwise I would just go ahead and buy new ones. Tried another brand and they might lose a…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Crumpled

What a waste of my time it was.

I work in a large auto parts store. These blades are junk. They worked fine for the first week. Nothing more impressive. The water was drawn back onto the windshield. The exact opposite of what wipers are supposed to do. I don't even know if they are really silicone or not. And don't get me started with the connection. This is a squeeze design if you have a J hook. Difficult to put on, but not that difficult to take off. It's not safe. I deleted them and went back to my Neoforms. At least I…

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Not original Silblade. These are fakes.

It was difficult for me to get used to the low rating of these wiper blades. I've been using them for about a decade, even on an old 1995 NAS D-90 I had that saw some dirt, these wipers never failed. However, there is a difference between them and the ones I bought direct from Silblade like the ones I just ordered from them for my wife's 2016 MDX. these are chinese rip offs and whats worse they sent me two different looks for this order which was for the new f-150. I was mad. If you look at the

Disappointing. on blades

I live in California and I have broken 2 of these blades over the last 1.5 years during my sparse use. On all my machines, the blades tended to skip parts of the windshield or jump around from time to time. I actually wanted these 'alternative' wipers to be good and kept hoping they would at least do better in the cleaning department, but in fact I had comments from passengers that I had to replace my wipers almost immediately. Also, these guys' clamping system is pretty poor and feels unsafe…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Modern
