This is my time to test a new batch of blades
[Just got done testing Michelins, RainXbrand, and Tripledge last 3 years]



so I went with Trico NeoForm on my Yaris, Trico exact fit (not so exact) rear.
and AquaPel as a surface coating (RainX only on side and back windows)

PIAA silicones on my 4runner and OEM rear insert, with RainX

and Silblade silicone for my GF, and sister gets PIAA's, with RainX

these silicone blades are not cheap

and I do not want to test AquaPel with Silicone blades. I need to test
with old-school Trico blades to know what Aquapel really does or does not do
this winter

You tried all those brands you listed over the last three years (is that how I should read that statement?)

If so, I take it none of them lived up to your expectations? Hence your high regard for trico?

A little advice: don't buy wiper blades from NAPA!!! They are the worst investment in my car I ever made. Threw them in garbage next day due to the loss of receipt and went back to Toyota's OEM ones.
