Review on πŸš— Trico - 12K Exact Fit 12-K Windshield Wiper Blade by Brian Whitmore

Revainrating 2 out of 5

2017 Santa Fe - mostly fit but not quite

I've added 3 pictures to show how it ended up. The first is the factory blade on the right and this one on the left. Just below the cross pin you will see 2 tabs on the original which are not present in this version. These protrusions lock the blade into place after it is attached to your hand. Without them, the blade won't sit straight. The second picture shows the uneven gap between this blade and the hand. The third picture shows the back of the arm and what the gap should look like. Even with that spacing and a decidedly slack fit, it doesn't wobble or rattle when I use it, so I'll use it for a while but won't buy again. I'll bite the bullet and get the OEM from the dealer next time. Another issue that bothered me is that this blade is about 1 inch shorter than the factory blade. Maybe it's not that big of a problem, but it's enough to bother me. Finally delivery. It's not the seller's fault, but I thought it might help some buyers. The free shipping option says it will take 2-3 weeks and mine arrived at the beginning of that. In fact, the tracking number was available in just 2 days. However, the package was sent by USPS and was difficult to track. Tracking showed the package was "pending acceptance" for 11 days and then magically "dispatched for delivery".

Pros
  • nice item
Cons
  • slightly repairable
