Wiper blades Trico or OEM BMW
So I swapped in some Trico Ultras also from RockAuto and my initial perception of them is that they're a big improvement.
I got Trico heavy duty from Rockauto last week and so far very satisfied
I eventually ended up finding a set of Trico Silicone Blades at Napa, and those have worked significantly better for me. I’ve had them since March of this year, and they’re still decently solid.
I bought the oem BMW wipers from fcp euro it\u2019s lifetime warranty and never had issues with it
Oddly enough, Discount Tire has OE Trico wipers that I’ve been getting 1.5 to 2yrs out of.
The best wipers I’ve ever bought were from rockauto. Trico extended life and they don’t cost any more than rainx ones from Walmart would.
I spend the little extra money and get Genuine BMW ones from the dealership. They fit and last longer than aftermarket.
Went to BMW and $68 later I installed them in the parking lot in under 20 seconds total. It’s worth the money, and they’re some of the best blades I’ve used.
I've tried 3 brands of aftermarket wiper blades that claimed to fit the rear wiper of the ID4 and none did.
One was a Trico I bought from Amazon and when I requested a return in the app, Amazon refunded it and told me to keep it. I just cut off the plastic chunk at the end that prevented it from fitting and made it work (it stays in place but fits "sloppy".)
Tried Trico once. A single snow storm later and they were toast
