I just installed a pair of Trico blades delivered by Amazon and the two blades were bare in a segmented cardboard box. The only plastic pieces were a protective sleeve over the blade and the adapters.
Buy new ones. I replace mine about twice a year.
Use iso alcohol on a microfiber towel, wipe the windscreen/back window and the wiper blades with it, then take off the excess and dry with another one.
Then use a glass cleaner+fresh microfiber to clean the windscreen, and wipe the wiper blades(all 3).
I like Trico wipers and find their Flex line to be good without also being too bulky
I only ever buy Trico blades Never had a single one fail me yet in the almost 10 years I’ve been putting them on my cars
I stuck to OEM for years but recently tried the Trico Asian Fit and I was surprised how well they held up. I drive a lot and can’t stand noisy and ineffective wiper blades.
Trico Sentry blades fall into a good performance vs. price area for me.
I've had similar experiences and found the Trico Flex to be the "sweet spot" of performance, cost and availability.
I use Trico Force wipers. They're pretty expensive and the blade is super soft so I wouldn't recommend them if your windshield is beat up.
No streaking or wiper burn though.
I just bought my 2024 and experienced my first heavy rain. It was difficult. I also noticed the wiper high speed wasn't nearly as fast as my previous cars. We get semi- frequent heavy rainstorms here, so it does bother me.
