PIAA wiper blade compatability

For my previous 2010 MCS I bought a pair of PIAA Si-Tech blades and was really happy with them. Now that I have a 2013 MCS I wanted to do the same, but after removing the stock wiper blade I notice that the arm doesn't have a J-hook on the end - it's just a straight arm with a little hole part way down. The adapters that come with the blades don't seem to be able to handle this "bayonet" type arm.
Has anyone had any luck installing PIAA blades on a 2013 MCS? I'm wondering if the PIAA blades are no longer compatible.

A couple websites.. Like waymotorworks list it does not work.
Piaa Refills are also a different width...so you can't use the blades in the stock frames...
