Trico Products Corp. has announced the launch of three new TRICO Solutions lines of wiper blades that are designed to meet unique performance requirements specific to some of the most popular vehicle types on the road.

Available now at Advance Auto Parts across the United States, the TRICO Solutions series features three different blade types: TRICO Truck, TRICO Asian Fit and TRICO High Mileage. 

“The TRICO Solutions series is the result of a culture of innovation that has kept Trico products positioned as ‘The Future of Wipers since 1917,’” said Dan Ehde, vice president of wiper product and engineering for TRICO. “TRICO Solutions are engineered to provide drivers with optimal performance based on the specific type of vehicle they drive.”

TRICO Truck is designed exclusively for trucks and are engineered with stronger features to maintain maximum windshield contact in all conditions. The blades are 20% heavier than typical beam blades and have rugged airfoils that repel dirt, debris, snow and ice, according to the company.

TRICO Asian Fit is designed to provide an exact factory match for Asian nameplate vehicles. Exactly matching the hybrid style and performance of original-equipment wipers, they feature a low-profile for improved wind lift resistance and a polymer shell that protects the blade from the elements.

Finally, TRICO High Mileage blades are specifically designed for worn wiper arms on vehicles that have logged more than 75,000 miles. The blades are engineered with an aerodynamic airfoil and a high-mileage coupler that uses wind force to distribute optimal pressure. “High Mileage blades will continue to deliver best-in-class load distribution with as much as a 40% reduction in arm load pressure,” the company said in a news release.

The new TRICO Solutions line will be featured at AAPEX, and visitors can get more details at the First Brands Group booth, A3638.

      When Should You Replace Your Wiper Blades?
      Wiper blades keep your windshield clear, but since they’re made of rubber, they wear out with time and need to be swapped out regularly.  How long they last really depends on how often you use them, where you drive, and whether you take care of them. Watch for these signs that indicate it's time for new wipers:
      Streaking or Noise
      Notice streaks or that awful squeaking sound? Yep, it’s probably time for a new pair. For a temporary fix, clean the blades with vinegar or alcohol, but replace them as soon as possible.
      Visible Damage
      Check the rubber blades regularly for cracks, chips, or deformities. Any damage means it's time for new wipers.
      Age Considerations
      Standard wipers typically last 6-12 months
      High-quality blades with proper care can last 2+ years
      Frequent use or harsh conditions (sun exposure, dry wiping) may require replacement every 6 months
      Just a heads-up—if your car sits in the sun a lot or you use your wipers all the time, it’s smart to check them more often.

      1. Know what part of the wiper blade you'll need to change. In general, windshield wiper blades are made with three basic parts: 1. The lower metal arm is the part that extends from the base of the windshield; 2. The wiper blade is the part attached to the metal arm; and 3. The rubber blade is the part that actually wipes the snow, rain or dust off the windshield glass for you.
      2. Look at the shape of the blade. Many modern cars have curved windshields, so the blade needs to curve too, to make good contact as it wipes. There are many brands of wiper blades with various kinds of packaging, some of which you can see through and some of which you can't. Straight wiper blades are suitable for car with a flat windshield, while slightly curved wiper blades may be more suitable for car with streamline windshield.
      3. Measure or look up the length of the blades that are used on your car’s driver seat and passenger seat sides. You can measure the length of each blade yourself, but in general, most places that sell wiper blades provide a manual where you can look up the lengths for your car make and model..
      4. Check for adapter options. Many wiper blade brands include more than one adapter type in their packaging. These are designed to make the blades compatible with various types of metal arm.
      5. Consider cost. Different kinds of wiper blades can range in price dramatically. Do a little comparison shopping to figure out what wipers fit your price range and are still of good quality.
