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.
Have you tried getting them directly from volvo? They are pretty on par with blades in my area.
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.
Then OEM blades are trash. I bought the Trico Beam Extended Life and they’ve been excellent so far.
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
the heat hasn't gotten mine yet, but they were never great to begin with...and I've seen others complain the same.
