That sounds about right. Only used if I'm caught in an unexpected shower. If it's raining, it's time to drive my daily driver.

"TRICO, the top name in wiper products has teamed up with DuPont Teflon®, the world's most slippery substance, to create the ultimate premium wiper blade. The many unique attributes of Teflon® transfer extremely well to wiper blades - and TRICO is using these advantages to help create the blade of the future. A blade that wipes smoother and lasts longer.

The TRICO Teflon® Blade combines the selling power of a major household brand with one of the world's most popular names in wiper blades.

In addition to the benefits of Teflon®, this premium blade also features an extra-thick, extra-durable metal superstructure that is riveted at vulnerable contact points. The exclusive wiping edge with Teflon® resin provides longer life and a smoother wipe. And the pre-attached adaptor is designed to fit 95% of vehicles directly.

Check our online catalog to find the correct Teflon® Blade for your vehicle.

Then go to our Where Sold page to find where you can purchase Teflon® Blades.

Need help installing Exact Fit wiper blades on your vehicle? We have included video installation clips and detailed instructions to show you how. "

Update:
I had a chance to put the new Trico Teflon blades on my SUV today...

and also try them out since it was raining on and off all day and OMG! WTF?......no more squeak or noise of any kind...not even hardly a whisper ...nightmare over...hot dog! Now I will put them on the rest of my Vehicles
