PIAA Si-Tech on 2023 Model S LR Refresh

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I ordered a set of PIAA Si-Tech wiper blades for my 2023 MS LR and even though Cravenspeed indicates it works for 2021/2022 it does not fit without some modifications to the adapter for 16mm Top lock connectors. The included top lock connector has "wings" that stick out and prevent the insertion into the wiper arm connector. I cut the wings off with some pliers and they fit well after the surgery. I'm not sure if there was some change in the way the wiper arm connections are, but the cover for the windshield wiper fluild nozzels prevents the standard connector from fitting into the MSLR wiper arm.

Left wiper is the PIAA and the right is the OEM. I had to clip the "wings" off the top of the connector to make it fit. Seems to work well with modifications.

Do 2021/2022 Model S owners also have the same wiper blade setup? There is a cover where the wiper fluid comes out of nozzels and prevents the use of the standard PIAA 16mm top lock connector.
