BlueOvalFitter
Thread starter
I only bought my F-150 because that year Chevy and GMC trucks had ***** front ends.I thought you would know? You are the Blue Oval Fitter after all.
The Fitter part is because I was a pipe fitter for 39 years.

One of them is for the funky kind of arm that was on my son's '07 G6.Check out these adapters that came with my blades. What in the heck do they fit?

Interesting that you mention this because I replaced my OEM Denso blades on the Mazda to Bosch. I can’t remember the model line (Focus?) but they worked fine for several months then suddenly I am getting that same residue and chatter on the windshield. Copious amounts of windshield washer fluid helps but I am going back to the OEM here soon.
Just after I made my last reply here, guess what shows up?

I was able to test my new wiper blades today. They work great. It's like there are no blades even wiping the windshield because they're so quiet. No more chattering wipers, no more streaks, and as quiet as a church mouse.
I bought my Trico blades from a very reputable vendor on FLEABAY. I have bought parts from him in the past. I went back to see if he had more blades and his price has gone up $1.75 since I had bought mine.BlueOvalFitter
That’s good news. I’m glad you are satisfied with the Trico wipers. Your original post got me thinking about my wipers. I had bought some Motorcraft about six months back. They had begun to streak. I got to looking around and found that NAPA was having a sale on their Exact Fit blades. They are actually Trico Exact Fit in NAPA packaging. I bought a pair and installed them. Big improvement! I went back and bought another pair.

"Forget it, Jake. It's Loozyana."My 07 F-150 calls for 20" blades. I installed 22" for more of a wipe area.
Also, check out the TRICO FORCE blades I purchased off of FLEABAY. I read up on them, plus a lot of members here recommended them as well.
I just talked to my postmaster about my delivery. He said Shreveport, La. (that's where they are currently) is really backed up. He said there are a lot of workers not showing up, that and it's the Christmas season. He said to be patient, they will be here soon enough.
Been a big fan of the NeoForm for a long time so I thought I'd try the Force and they are exactly as you say. The only thing I don't like about my Lucerne is two different sizes, one 21" and one 24" makes it hard to buy in pairs to get deals.I was able to test my new wiper blades today. They work great.

I need to replace my wiper blades. I usually buy the El Cheapos from WM but decided to step it up this time. My (2) choices to pick from are;
1) BOSCH Clear Advantage
2) TRICO Force
Please, I don't want to hear "You should buy BRAND X or BRAND XY." I want opinions on JUST these (2) selections.
Thank You.

I am very impressed with my Trico Force blades.This morning I ordered a pair of Trico Exact-Fit hybrid blades from RockAuto. Even with the shipping, the pair cost about a third what a set of OEM from the dealer would, and about half what they would be from NAPA.
After your posts here, I was looking for those, but didn't see them on RockAuto. Maybe I missed 'em.I am very impressed with my Trico Force blades.
