TRICO NeoForm 16-2213 Wiper Blade with Teflon - 22"

I bought an 08 Mazda Tribute same thing as the Escape or Mariner (Ford and Mercury) and it had what I believed was the original equipment blades on it. I thought this because they looked better than the average blades you can buy in the store. I work in the auto repair industry so I am pretty familiar with what is out there. I was WRONG. This product is what was on the car. I sent to the local dealer for a pair of their craptastic blades and they look horrible, don't wipe well,etc. I had the first pair that came with my used Mazda for over a year and they just started to barely streak. I'm very very very happy I figured out that they were Trico Blades!! I also found that Amazon had pretty much the best price when you factor in shipping etc.So to sum it up, I would recommend these to anyone I wanted to keep alive in a heavy rain (they really clean well), they last a super long time in fact I still have not put them on the car, just cleaned the ones that are on there for well over a year with a little rubbing alcohol and they came right back to life. I park outside on the street living in the city so that is really saying something. On top of all the obvious advantages, they LOOK good on the car, they look like they were built specifically for the thing (I have the pinch tab type blade) they blend right into the arm. These are the ones you want.

In my search for the perfect wiper, I have only found one brand that really stands out as head and shoulders above the rest. PIAA. Unfortunately, they don't currently make wipers that fit the new style wiper arms on the 07-present GMC Sierra (and many other newer cars). That's a shame, because I can't seem to find truly superior blades from any other manufacturer. With the Trico blades, the search goes on.The blades fit well, and the connecting mechanism is pretty good so that I don't have to worry about them coming loose from the wiper arm, unlike the Bosch blades I had immediately before these. Aside from this, though, these are fairly standard and unimpressive blades no better than the OEM blades.The biggest problem they have is chatter. They love to bounce across the windshield making that loud drumming sound as they go. This will happen in anything less than a steady rain. So road mist or sprinkling results in intermittent, loud noise. My windshield is cleaned regularly, so it's not a matter of a thin layer of dirt triggering the oscillations in the frame. It seems to be that the blade material is sub-par, possibly just too inflexible. The material in the Bosch blades did a much better job in this regard, though the connector was poorly designed on those.In moderate or heavy rain, they perform adequately. The colder it is outside, though, the worse they seem to do. Again, it seems that the material stiffens up too easily (sub 40 degrees, it seems). I've had these on for less than a month, though, but I'm already looking for something else.Let's call their performance as a blade average, their noise as poor, and their cold tolerance as below average based on 4 weeks of use in a mix of snow and rain.

The paper tag did not give good instructions but after watching the you tube they went on great. The trick is to put wiper into the slots for the pinch and then push the wiper down into the arm to hold the notch part. They go on in reverse of the way the old ones come off.

I didn't experience a problem with the wiper itself it was the fit. The tool that amazon has to make sure the item fits your vehicle did not work for this item for a 2015 Audi Q5. This wiper has the wrong type of connector and does not fit that vehicle like it say it does. I ordered both driver and passenger side and both have the wrong connector. See pic for the difference I encountered to you don't have the same problem. Left side is the existing wiper and connector, and the right side is what they shipped after the Amazon confirmed the fit.

I knew if I waited a little longer someone would finally make an aftermarket wiper that would fit my 2007 Toyota Tundra. When I opened the wiper box I noticed it was different than the OEM blades, but no fear, it still clicked into place and I did not get robbed at the dealer where they quoted me a price of about $80 for the pair of blades. I paid only $33 here for the pair, plus there was a rebate for $15 more off. The OEM blades measure 26" on the driver side and 23" on the passenger, but I bought the 26" and 22" here on amazon and they fit fine. I have not been in the rain yet, but I know they will work. If not, I'll update my review. Thanks again Amazon for a deal you'll only find here! I only gave them 4 stars because I have not tried them yet since it has not rained since I installed them.

I've been using Trico wiper blades on my 2005 Ford Escape for more than 6 years now. While they do seem to last reasonably long, eventually the rubber blade will get ripped out of the metal frame. I've been lucky with the last couple, and they lasted me more than 4 years before that happened. Sometimes they only last a year or two.While I appreciate that they last a reasonable amount of time, they don't necessarily do a good job at wiping water off the windshield. They can streak, bounce, and make rather unpleasant sounds while they do so (even though they are coated with Teflon). Personally I think it's time to try something different, as the performance of the wipers is more important than how long they last (at least to a point), and a quick Google search shows that Trico may be the bottom of the barrel when it comes to windshield wipers.

I tried Bosch and other brands. Some would mount on a Toyota, but these were the ONLY ones that would actually mount and fit and work on my VW Alltrack (sold as a Golf in the US, sold as a Passat in Europe).

Wipes my windshield extremely clean. Does the best job of any that I have used.

Won't fit the J hook arms without proper adapter

Wouldn’t fit
