TRICO Force Wiper Blade 16 inch Fits Select Toyota, Hyundai, Dodge, Kia, Honda, Jeep, Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan, GMC (25-160)

These wipers lasted three years on an SUV that sits outside all year.

Excellent performance in our April Showers

I ordered a set of these in March 2012 and they've been great for the past three years. I initially chose them because they were one of the few wiper blades that had range that went all the way from 14" to 28" so I could get a matching set for my Fit. When they arrived, they snapped on in seconds and they've been securely attached ever since.I live in the DC region, so they have endured heat, ice, and snow every year. I also tend to abuse my wiper blades a bit. I always let them freeze to the windshield, and I always use them to scrape the ice off of it. Despite all of that though, I got three years out of them. They were great, but when I finally wore the rubber blades off of them, I made the mistake of trying a different product. I went with the Valeo 600 series wiper blades because of the positive reviews I found online, but when they arrived, they didn't fit on my Fit. The "universal" connector was not compatible, and no additional adapters were included. I emailed support and followed up with a call because other Fit owners said they were mailed replacement adapters. Valeo support was useless and recommended that I return them. So, I did, and I ordered another set of these instead!As soon as they arrived, I was immediately satisfied with my decision. It started with the packaging. The Valeo 600 series shipped in an annoying blister pack, and the wiper had torn through the plastic and was protruding from one end. The Tricos came in a plastic package wrapped in a cardboard label that slipped off. With the cardboard label slipped off, the package swung open, and the blade came out with ease. I compared the new set to the ones I ordered three years ago and the design look unchanged. They went on just as effortlessly as the three year old set came off. They included an additional adapter for attaching to other style wiper arms, but it wasn't necessary for my Fit. Now that they're installed, they look great and work great! I'm looking forward to getting three more years out of this new set! Next time I need to replace them, I won't make the mistake of trying another brand again.My recommended and proven setup for a 2009 Honda Fit Sport is as follows:Driver Side: http://amzn.com/B005WTPDUQPassenger Side: http://amzn.com/B005WTPB0IRear Hatch: http://amzn.com/B001KS6FPA

Love the wiper but in three instances when I received the wiper, the B adaptor was missing from the package. Have called Trico direct to get the correct adaptor shipped to me.I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s had this problem.

What a surprise to open the box and find these. They are not what I expected. From the pictures on Amazon, I really could not have imagined what they look like. The difference between what I had on my car and these leave such a gap in likeness.These wipers are extremely well-made and strong. Before even installing them, just holding them in your hand, you know that they will adhere to your windshield, conforming to its actual shape--not sticking up anywhere--like some do on the ends. They will be able to deal with not only rain, but downpours. They will obviously deal with snow too, although that remains to be seen.My car called for two different sizes: 22" on the driver's side and 21" on the passenger side. So, I had to order the 21" separately, as you can see: Trico 25-210 Force High Performance Beam Blade - 21". Only after installing them and looking at the tolerances, did I realize how well these were designed for my car.These are very quiet. The wipers obviously just sweep the windshield clean as they pass over it, kind of like those nice squeegees you see the window washers use. Quite a noticeable difference from the old ones.The installation is a bit tricky. They come with a kit that can accommodate at least a half-dozen models of wipers. They come with two different mounts that can snap onto the wiper and have what I will call inter-lockable parts. I had to do a little investigation to see what parts of the package I needed to use or eliminate for installation on my STS. I had to remove one or two parts from one mount and completely ignore another that was supplied. It took about 5 minutes to make all of this happen. I did not find the instructions helpful at all. All-in-all, I completed the installation on both sides in about 10 minutes.Only when I took off the old wipers, did I realize how bad, no horrible, they were. I am glad I have these on now. As far as these are concerned, I feel comfortable able what old man winter can bring.
