So I swapped in some Trico Ultras also from RockAuto and my initial perception of them is that they're a big improvement.

Pros: big improvement

I eventually ended up finding a set of Trico Silicone Blades at Napa, and those have worked significantly better for me. I’ve had them since March of this year, and they’re still decently solid.

Pros: worked significantly better

Cons: some skips from time to time

Vehicle: Ford Escape

Oddly enough, Discount Tire has OE Trico wipers that I’ve been getting 1.5 to 2yrs out of.

Pros: last 1.5 to 2 years

The best wipers I’ve ever bought were from rockauto. Trico extended life and they don’t cost any more than rainx ones from Walmart would.

Pros: extended life

Cons: none

Went to BMW and $68 later I installed them in the parking lot in under 20 seconds total. It’s worth the money, and they’re some of the best blades I’ve used.

Pros: easy to install, best blades used

Vehicle: BMW

I've tried 3 brands of aftermarket wiper blades that claimed to fit the rear wiper of the ID4 and none did.

One was a Trico I bought from Amazon and when I requested a return in the app, Amazon refunded it and told me to keep it. I just cut off the plastic chunk at the end that prevented it from fitting and made it work (it stays in place but fits "sloppy".)

Pros: made it work

Cons: fits sloppy

Vehicle: Volkswagen
