Silicon Wiper Blade

[swinefeaster]

The OEM rubber on the wiper blade kinda sucks. Did some research and it appears that silicon wipe blades are the bomb, and they last a lot longer, but I can't find any 48" "rubbers". Does anyone make such a thing? Maybe an idea for one of the aftermarket folks.

I’m certain silicone is better.

However, I’ve had my truck for a year and a half (24,000 miles driven) and I’m still using the original wiper. Works great. My secret…wipe the blade once a week with a microfiber towel. (I wash my truck once a week)

I haven't seen a third party blade yet but would be interested if there are other options out there.

I'll try that. during light rain drizzle and sprinkles I got the dreaded squeaking of the wiper.

I have been using Kimblade for my Model 3 and other vehicles. These are silicone squares and they work great but unfortunately they don't have them for the Cybertruck yet.

It would be great if Tesla would just make the OEM Cybertruck wiper blade in silicone instead of rubber.

Haha I went five years on my caterpillar blades on my 17MS before replacing them. (I wiped them off every few weeks. Here in Texas.)

At least they have the CT listed on their site. So maybe they are working on their own.

I emailed them. Their response was super lame.

"Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Kimblade.

At the moment, we do not have plans to develop silicone wiper blades for the Cybertruck.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you,
Ellie from The Kimblade Team"

Sounds they just need more inquiries from us owners . . .

48" rubbers? Elephant size!

 

[swinefeaster]

Yes the more people send email to them the better! Let's crowd source this shit

I'll be at two years in a couple of weeks and I'm still on the original blade. Works great.
