Wiper blades Trico or VALEO

Then, I'd recommend swapping your blades over to these from Valeo: Pay no attention to the Amazon listing for size/compatibility - VM387 is specifically for Golf MK7 models. I went through multiple types and brands of wiper blades years ago trying to solve chattering/skipping issues and these have proven to be the best quality, smoothest, and longest lasting by far.

I use Trico Gold off of Amazon and they are well reviewed.

Trico makes the best blades....why? They're absolutely SILENT. I use the trico tri blades and it's almost weird how quiet they are. Best thing I've ever used

I switched to Trico Onyx last time. They were easier to change and have lasted longer so far.

I’ve used the trico exact fit since I got my 2018 and they’ve lasted me 1.5 years a piece on the east coast usa. 24-17b and 18-17b are the part numbers.

I've been buying Valeo blades from rockauto for awhile...they seem to last

After some trial and error I landed on these for my SC. They performed well through this brutal Utah winter.

As for the wipers, i got Valeo from RockAuto for all 3 and they work great a year later still.

I use Trico Force wipers. They're pretty expensive and the blade is super soft so I wouldn't recommend them if your windshield is beat up.

No streaking or wiper burn though.

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.
