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...
Order these... They fit and work great. Took the old ones off and clipped these on. No messing with changing adapters or other nonsense... http://www.idparts.com/valeo-oe-wiper-blade-set-mkvii-golf-p-4647.html
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.
Running Valeo's on my own car (A3). Was a bit hesitant as I've always run Bosch on my other cars but they have been performing very well, and would expect them to perform just as well on the Jetta.
I just picked up a pair of Trico Onyx blades, part #s 26-240 and 29-190. They cost me $47.59 (includes the 3.5% sales tax) No reviews yet, but they did a great job cleaning my windshield.
I just put the Trico blades on. They are not a direct connect, meaning that it won't just snap in. However, using the supplied adapter was no issue and to me, these are way better than stock blades. No issues lifting even at higher speeds.
I like Trico blades. Every time I try out a different brand, I always find myself going back to Trico completely satisfied.
The only other blade I would consider on par with or a slight upgrade would be the Valeos I got from Tire Rack.
The Rain-X ones are better, I've used both. Supposedly the PIAA Super Silicone are the bees knees, but I hate framed designs. They recently started making frameless ones so one day I'll try those. Currently I'm on Trico Force blades and they have been the best I've had so far. I have only had them about 2 months now though so that could change.
