Thumbs up Wiper Blades

Just wanted to say....

I picked up a set of TRICO 24-9r blades today from Advance auto ($9.98 each) and they work awesome!!! no missing spots at all, nice wiper, has 4 shocks just like the OEM version. I give it two thumbs up and I just wanted to let you all know. This is a great replacement!!!

Talking

No horsepower, but I think you'll be at least 2 tenths quicker due to the aerodynamic properties of the blade!

I'll have to pick up a pair next season, my blades are shot.

Thanks for the tip!

Out of curiosity, are the frames made out of metal or plastic?

The trico 24-9 were 9.99 a penny more then the 24-9r ???, A penny more, why I dunno? He told me the 24-9r were the ones for my car, He told me the 24-9 had a different clip for the wiper arm and that was why the 24-9(r) was the one for me to get. ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT WORKS WELL and its about time they made something we dont need to get GM for a replacement part

ran a pair of Bosch wiper blades on my 91 TransAm very good pieces, talk about clean sweeps!

btw, does rain-x smear when under a lot of wiper blade-ing?
