DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- The 2007-2014 GM truck platform introduced one of the most frustrating wiper arm designs in truck history — the Pinch Tab. Flat arm, tiny side tabs, and a connector that only one blade in the auto parts store fits. The TruckTok 22" Pinch Tab Beam Blade Pair is molded specifically for this connector, with side tabs that lock onto your factory arm in one motion and a release tab you can reach without dislocating your thumb.r
- The beam blade design eliminates the bulky metal superstructure that blocks your view and collects ice in winter. A continuous spring steel core applies uniform pressure across the entire 22" sweep, while the integrated spoiler keeps the blade planted at interstate speeds. For GM truck owners who’ve fought with universal-fit blades that “almost” fit, this is the direct replacement that actually snaps on and stays on.
Key Features
- The side squeeze tabs are molded directly into the connector body — not a clip-on adapter that can come loose over time. Simply squeeze the tabs, slide onto the flat arm, and release for a secure, click-locked fit. When it’s finally time for a replacement, our optimized release mechanism is significantly easier to operate than the notorious OEM connector.
- The aerodynamic profile of the blade shell catches oncoming airflow and actively converts it into downforce. Even at 70 mph in a severe rainstorm, the blades stay firmly pressed against the glass instead of lifting, skipping, or chattering like traditional flat-profile designs.
- Engineered with precision-cut natural rubber elements treated with a premium smooth coating, these blades deliver whisper-quiet operation without drag or squeaking in intense summer heat. The fully sealed beam shell prevents ice, snow, and thick mud from packing into the frame, ensuring the rubber stays pliable and ready to clear heavy winter slush effortlessly.

Before You Buy
- Check the Length: Both driver and passenger blades must be exactly 22 inches (550mm). This is a symmetrical setup — same size on both sides.
- Check the Interface: Your factory wiper arm must be a Pinch Tab arm — flat arm with two small tabs you squeeze inward on each side.
Crucial Notice Before Installation
- Remove the Protective Sleeve: Every wiper blade comes with a colored green plastic protective sleeve covering the rubber element. You MUST slide this cover off before your first use. Installing the blades with the sleeve on will cause smudging and the blades will not clear your windshield.
FAQ
Q: How do I know if my Chevy or GMC has Pinch Tab arms?
A: Look at the wiper arm end. If it’s flat (no hook) and has two small tabs you squeeze inward on each side, that’s Pinch Tab. This applies to 2007-2013 Silverado/Sierra 1500s and 2008-2014 HD models. If you see a square button on top of a flat arm, you need our Push Button version.
Q: Why can’t I just use a universal blade with an adapter?
A: Pinch Tab is notoriously picky with universal adapters — they either don’t lock securely or are too thick to clear the arm. This blade was molded specifically for the GM Pinch Tab profile. It fits because it was designed for exactly this connector, not adapted to it.
Q: Will these fit a 2015+ Silverado?
A: No — 2014+ (1500) and 2015+ (HD) GM trucks switched to the 19mm Push Button / Top Lock connector. Those trucks need our 22" Push Button blades.
Q: Do I take the green plastic strip off before installing?
A: Yes — the green sleeve protects the rubber edge during shipping. Slide it off before installation. If you skip this step, your new blades will smear and you’ll think we sold you defective wipers. We didn’t. Take the green strip off.
Q: Need blades for a different GM truck year or a multi-fit option?
A: For 2014+ GM Silverado/Sierra, our 22" Push Button beam blades are the correct fit. If you have multiple trucks with different connectors, our 22" Universal Multi-Fit blades come with 6 adapters covering every major arm style.
