Wiper blades PIAA or Trico
I've been very happy with the Trico Onyx blades.
PIAA silicone blades. They last for years.
Ended up getting some Tricos and they've been awesome so far.
Put them on my LEAF tonight and used them in the rain and they were perfect! They fit neatly without touching when not in use and don't streak.
FWIW, I found the stock wipers I had pulled off the car before really using them to go with the PIAAs. Not sure why, but the stock work so much better than the PIAAs, which were really starting to pi%s me off. Anyway, thanks to the contributors to this thread...it didn't even dawn on me to put the OEMs back on...though it was a design flaw with the wiper arm not having enough tension on it or something.
I recommend the Trico blade. My OEM blade skipped and made a lot of noise. Now that I have the Trico it works perfectly. Same for the windshield wipers.
Silicon blades are the way to go. They last way longer and have a cleaner wipe which is why you don't see them at most retail locations.
Trico force 26 inch and 18 inch also fit perfect on mk7 golf r. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk
Just installed Trico Ice wipers on my car and they fit perfect. Watched the video on the Trico site for narrow arm push button, did the replacement B/C adaptor, threw away the piece they said to do and BAM, fit like a glove. No stealership here!
Went to Autozone and picked up some Trico blades. I had to use the second adapter, but it really wasn't that difficult. I'm not sure what the big deal is? It took me less than 5 minutes to change both...
