    This aerodynamic mod was done on a gen 1. You might post there.

    I don't think wiper wind noise is a big issue on gen 2. Road noise is a much louder. Tires make a big difference here.

    Now if you had squeaky wipers I would say try silicone blades.

    My squeaky wipers turned out to be the bearings in the RH wiper arm. :)

    I don't own Gen1/2 and hopefully there are no squeaky bearings on 2014 Prius C yet. But wiper wind noise is apparent.
