    Has anyone had any luck installing piaa wiper blades on the Gen 4 Prius. They list the 2018 Prius and Prius prime as compatible. They are supposedly PTB type and they say to use their adapter type A. Unfortunately it seems the adapter has small tabs that make it slightly too wide. Could anyone help?

    I'd love to know this too. Coming from silicone wipers on my previous car, I'd love them for my Prius.

    If they're not in the states, where are they available? (here's hoping they're in the UK)

    I am interested in this as well.

    Even better would just be silicone wiper inserts, like the OEM rubber inserts, so I can stay with my OEM blades.

    It's weird I found this thread. I bought the exact same wiper blades for my 2018 Prius Prime, and when I complained the "A" adapter didn't fit, they simply told me that the blades were not compatible with the car. I threw away almost $60.

    Do you have the codes for these blades/adaptors?

    The official PIAA site here I'm the UK still only lists older Prii.

    THEY FIT!

    So I went ahead and bought some PIAA wipers (from PowerBulbs in the UK). When they arrived, the box came with only 5 adaptors (A, B, C, D, and M), but my Prius needs the F adaptor. However, I noticed that they show the required adaptor right on the main Wipers page of their official UK website (see the same image attached). I contacted the seller, who contacted PIAA, and PIAA said that due to a manufacturing error some wiper packs were shipped with the old instructions on the back (which doesn't show the E or F adaptors being used) and without the actual E and F adaptors themselves. The seller then found some newer wipers, and sent me the F adaptors from them. They work perfectly. Better than my Bosch AeroTwins. Finally, no judder!
