Wiper Blades Replacement

I found aftermarket full wiper blades (rather than refills) for the Volvo XC90. I like to replace the entire wiper because of the abuse the ice and snow put the wiper frames through - I figure better safe than sorry. I went with Trico Tech Beam Blades. I've been a Trico NeoForm guy for a while, but I tried the new Techs because they have a new mounting system that allows the wiper arm to sit slightly lower than in the past. The Techs are beefy as hell and look great with the new, lower side mount. By the way - they came with complete removal and installation instructions - very easy. Got the whole set-up online.

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

Thank you for the information. I used a refill once and it came out causing the metal to score the windscreen. That was in 1973 and I have used only full blades since.

Bill.

Yes, thanks for the recommendation. Amazon.com has Trico Beam Blades but not Trico Tech Beam Blades, for what it's worth.
