Wiper blades PIAA or Trico
I have PIAA Super Silicone wiper blades on my front windshield. I got them over 7 years ago. They wiped absolutely clean when I got them. They finally show some age this year. However, they still wipe fairly clean with no squeaking noise or streaks. The only disappointing thing is they are difficult to get. I got them from Amazon, but their current price is so inflated now.
My personal preference is Trico Flex or Ultra btw. Trico makes nice blades that don’t make any noise and they last me years. I have a set going 4 years, another set going 2-3 years.
replaced mine after 6 months with a pair of bosch and those failed again after 6 months (streaks + stutters). Now I have some Trico Silicone Ceramic and they are perfect. I had them for the last 9 months. Lets see how winter will damage them.
I got piaa ones and they have been great
PIAA are best by a margin.
I average about 3+ years out of a set of blades, in one of the snowiest parts of the US. Trico Onyx is my go-to.
Big fan of trico they are real rubber and don’t make noise. These are basically premium. Any of those will get you a serious amount of time on your wipers. I’m at biyearly replacements and they get replaced before it’s desperate.
PIAA Super Silicone. Have to order them, but best wipers I’ve owned, and I use them on all of my vehicles.
I just did it myself with a slightly different spin: I found a slightly better looking wiper blade part on the "TRICO Force" that tucks nicely over the stock window molding. Looks more like an air-foil:
They gave me Trico Force blades, which the website says will fit my 2008 B7 A4. I just tried to install them and it's clearly not a fit. I've scoured the web with no luck finding anyone that has been able to fit them. As I look at the mounting, it looks like I can pry out the old plastic Bosch swivel mount and put these in, but don't want to break anything.
