Wiper blades Trico or OEM Volvo

Just installed Trico Ice wipers on my car and they fit perfect. Watched the video on the Trico site for narrow arm push button, did the replacement B/C adaptor, threw away the piece they said to do and BAM, fit like a glove. No stealership here!

Went to Autozone and picked up some Trico blades. I had to use the second adapter, but it really wasn't that difficult. I'm not sure what the big deal is? It took me less than 5 minutes to change both...

Front blades - yes 26,18. I got Trico Flex. Both had the tab you had to remove to use the 19mm "push button" (type defined in instructions) as opposed to the larger 22mm. My wiper instructions suggest that a penny will fit in 22 mm openings where it will no in the 19 mm, which again is ours. These have been on for about 3 months and no issues. Then I used the https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FADIYZK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Trico 11-H Exact Fit Rear Beam Wiper Blade in the rear. Fit without issue.

I just picked up a pair of Trico Onyx blades, part #s 26-240 and 29-190. They cost me $47.59 (includes the 3.5% sales tax) No reviews yet, but they did a great job cleaning my windshield.

I just put the Trico blades on. They are not a direct connect, meaning that it won't just snap in. However, using the supplied adapter was no issue and to me, these are way better than stock blades. No issues lifting even at higher speeds.

I like Trico blades. Every time I try out a different brand, I always find myself going back to Trico completely satisfied.

The Rain-X ones are better, I've used both. Supposedly the PIAA Super Silicone are the bees knees, but I hate framed designs. They recently started making frameless ones so one day I'll try those. Currently I'm on Trico Force blades and they have been the best I've had so far. I have only had them about 2 months now though so that could change.

I run a parts store and so far it seems Trico Neoform are my favorite out of the bunch, the rain-x repel/latitude have a clip style that eventually lifts in the middle after the blades have 'broken in' and cause a giant streak down the middle. I live in new england and also park outside, and had a set of neoforms make it through two winters. just my two cents!

I just did it myself with a slightly different spin: I found a slightly better looking wiper blade part on the "TRICO Force" that tucks nicely over the stock window molding. Looks more like an air-foil:

They gave me Trico Force blades, which the website says will fit my 2008 B7 A4. I just tried to install them and it's clearly not a fit. I've scoured the web with no luck finding anyone that has been able to fit them. As I look at the mounting, it looks like I can pry out the old plastic Bosch swivel mount and put these in, but don't want to break anything.
