While they're not the cheapest brand out there, they last forever. My last pair lasted almost 5 years before the rubber started separating from the blades.
I tried the Trico Flex and they work great for the Model 3. 26 for the driver side and 19 for the passenger side. Installation was easy and no modifications were required.
Using trico ultras on a 2019, no problems
I tried Trico and wasn't super happy with them. I didn't feel they fit as well as the OE wipers. They were a bit too loose and made noise, etc. I've been very happy with Bosch AeroTwin. Virtually identical to the OE wipers and the fit was perfect.
Finally swapped out noisy originals with Bosch Icon 24 OE + Bosch Icon 19 OE. Huge improvement. Why did I put up with the old ones for so long? Note - Icons come in three styles as referenced up thread, A or B versions will not work. The OE Version comes with multiple adapters, out of the box it fits PTB 19mm wiper arms. 2019 Jetta uses 16mm PTB (aka narrow PTB). So just pry the #2 adapter off the blade, click on the #4 adapter, and install on the wiper arm. Voila - silent wipes!
lesson learned - Bosch ICON 365 climax and bring a flat head.. i love them they work silently and dont streak. Seriously VW and their bloody not standard wiper arms.
I ended up with some Bosch all season wiper blades. They were like $50 for the pair, but are considered premium.
After initial spray and clearing, they really do work nice, look like the factory design and have that slight wind ridge for holding tight as you drive.
OK, I couldn't take it anymore. I went to Advanced Auto Parts and got new blades. Their in-store system does not have 2019 Jetta's in it's database. Luckily I had my trusty iPhone and Google. Trico "Onyx" high-performance beam blades 26-240 (24" driver's side blade) 26-190 (19" passenger side blade). Cost = Too much. $41.00 - but I've got too much going on right now to schedule a trip to the stealership - so I paid for the convenience of the local parts store. Ease of install = RTFM and you'll be OK. These blades require you swap a supplied adapter into them. The arms are the narrow push button arms, so just follow the instructions with the blades to install the right adapter. Also, read the VW owner's manual to put the arms into "service" position. All easy if you read the manuals. Blades seem great - no rain today, but multiple applications of wiper fluid and using the blades returns, well, nothing. Dead silent.
