Review on TRICO Exact Fit 19 Inch Conventional Automotive Replacement Wiper Blade - Pack of 1 for Car (19-1) by Greg Sullivan

Honestly these trico blades are the worst products I have ever bought. Not just automotive products, but all products. I bought them back in late fall to replace the Rain-X wiper blades when they finally died and after the winter cold and snow wore on I finally got around to installing them. (they were stored in my air conditioned basement over the winter) At first they worked great as expected, but after only 3 weeks their performance started to drop off drastically. I checked the blades and wiped them down to make sure nothing was interfering with their work, but they were clean. At week 6 I took my car for the annual MOT and a technician I'm good friends with told me to take out the "dead wipers" but that he wouldn't. Now in week 8 they are completely unusable when it rains and MUST be replaced for safety reasons. My wife has had the more expensive Trico ONYX blades on her car for almost two years now and they still work great so I figured the Trico ExactFit would be a good choice too. . . WOW was I wrong. I'm not sure if they just made a bad batch of these blades or if the quality of the materials is just very different from their top of the line product. In any case I will contact Trico for clarification.
