About the Product

TRICO Flex® lets you step up from a conventional windshield wiper blade to premium beam blade wiper technology at a reasonable price.

The NeoForm Wiper Blade features an aerodynamic spoiler that helps reduce wind-lift at highway speeds and enhances styling. The blade is designed to provide constant pressure across the entire length of the blade to help ensure a uniform wipe. NeoForm blades offer durable, all-weather performance.

TRICO Flex 18-2617B Universal Beam Wiper Blade

These fit great. Were easy to install in seconds AND remove water well and don't make any of those horrendous wiper noises associated with cheap blades.
I bought these to replace my ragged pieces of what used to be windshield wipers on my car and they work well. I ended up buying the longest blade length my car supports without really knowing it so they pretty much touch the edge of my windshield but they still work well.
Installation is very easy once you know what you're doing, but works a little different than other blades, and can be confusing if you don't. The wiper comes with a plastic connector already mounted, but it's the wrong one for the Equinox.
Nice fit. These wipers have a easy on/off connectors.
This wiper blade doesn’t have the appearance or fit of the original OEM blade. Some disassembly and reassembly of the adaptor is required.
They are wipers and they do the job. 3 stars is for the Ford proprietary connector. I have never seen wipers that were this needlessly convoluted and difficult to install before.

TRICO NeoForm 16-220 Beam Wiper Blades w/Teflon

These were on my SUV when I bought it, 3 years and 25 kmiles ago. Did a great job up to and after rubber separation.
I replaced my Saturn's OEM Blades with these after a fight over just replacing the rubber. Mine were falling apart. Boy am I happy I went with these. I replaced them right before a massive storm. Testing them with the windshield cleaning fluid they completely cleared the window.
I have bought tons of windshield wipers in my day, but these new pvc/rubber wipers are awesome! They get the windshield cleaned in 1-2 swipes, and dont make any noise, or have any drag.
Very poor connection and did not fit the standard u-hook that most new cars have. Could not figure this out and gave up. Should not be so difficult.
No wiper chatter, smooth action, the blade comforms to my Jeep Liberty windsheild, and the rubber flexes correctly with each pass.

What customers say about "Features"

TRICO Flex 18-2617B Universal Beam Wiper Blade

Awesome blade, cleared up my windows right away after the change. Also, a snap to install! I had the J-hook frame.
After about a month this has held up well so far...then again I didn't get to test it to see how well it holds up in winter weather.
We've had these wipers on the car now for 2 months and they're still working perfectly, even at higher speeds with light mist -- a condition that seems to be the hardest for most wipers to deal with.
In just a few months (with maybe one or two rainfall) the middle of the rubber on both blades was tearing away from the frame.
These blades work okay, about as well as Rain-X Latitudes, but the materials are extremely low quality.

TRICO NeoForm 16-220 Beam Wiper Blades w/Teflon

Prompt delivery, clear installation instructions. Seems to be holding up to Wyoming winter so far.
Works extremely well in Chicago winter. Best fit / performance found so far for replacement blades for the FJ - Which are hard to find!
I drive about 12k miles per year. It is not especially wet in Connecticut, but these blades do get exposed to ice, snow, and salt during the winter.
So i put on the 22 inch on the driver side then i tried putting this one on and i had the worst time getting it fo fit right without it leaving an unwiped spot on the window was a pain. On top of that the end on the passenger side doesnt stick to the window all the way so there is a small gap.
The adaptor somehow came out and I had to spend about 20 minutes jamming it back in... Installation of these probably best left to professionals.
This wiper rapidly accumulates ice that prevents it from operating correctly in inclement weather. I frequently needed to pull over and manually remove chunks of ice to keep my windshield clear.
