Switched to cheap Rain-X Weatherbeaters and haven't had either problem even after 10 months. guess the wind was catching them even though they are supposed to be more resistant to that issue. It was almost like it was pushing too hard at the ends.Īlso, they would skip and chatter at highway speeds, another problem I never had with regular blades. Amazon didnt have a box/package pic for the Trico blade Im sure the Trico blade has a more specific part number than what I just gave. The Trico part number is 19-1b (it is a 19 inch blade), so that doesnt look too close. My speculation is that the longer blade had a tendency to lift off the windshield in the middle due to inconsistent pressure across the blade. Well the NAPA part for the blade I need is WIP 60191. This only happened on the driver side which is a 24" blade (passenger side is 18"). They never worked well from day one, so it wasn't age related. They were not not wiping cleanly in the center part of the blade's area of travel over the windshield. I had Rain-X Latitude blades on my Optima and got rid of them in less than a year. The PEAK Hybrid Wiper Blade combines the stability of a traditional framed blade with the sleek design of a beam blade. In theory, yes, but in reality, sometimes the old type works better. But isn't that the point of beam-style wipers? They should have more even pressure than traditional frame-style blades because there's not just a few pressure points?
