Wiper blades rainx or Trico
I get rain-x wipers, but always replace them in may/june before the monsoons. Only go through one set a year though.
I recently replaced mine with Rain X wipers and I'm in love with them. It's been raining a lot here in California, but I can see perfectly!
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.
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...
Front blades - yes 26,18. I got Trico Flex. Both had the tab you had to remove to use the 19mm "push button" (type defined in instructions) as opposed to the larger 22mm. My wiper instructions suggest that a penny will fit in 22 mm openings where it will no in the 19 mm, which again is ours. These have been on for about 3 months and no issues. Then I used the https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FADIYZK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Trico 11-H Exact Fit Rear Beam Wiper Blade in the rear. Fit without issue.
The Nov. 2008 Consumer Reports found that only RainX Latitude, $17, performed better than average after 6 months
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.
Personally I gave the rainX latitude wipers a shot, but found that the top spoiler was way to big and made the wipers flop around while at highway speeds.
