Default question about wiper blades

i just installed some new PIAA silicon blades. if i take off the "shield" on original driver's side blade, will it fit on the PIAA blade?

thx

Default im guessing it helps keep the blade down on the windshield at highway speeds.

I was thinking of removing the PIAA blade (the rubber part) and putting that back into the original bosch frame. it looked like it would work. i dont understand why they just dont sell the blade part alone anyway.

or you could just dremel the piaa frame. i think it needs two "windows" for the wind deflector to snap into.

i only looked at this quickly, so i could be wrong.
