Innovision blades

I just got the new Innovision Trico wiper blades at CARQUEST. The countermen didn't recommend them, but they also didn't approve of the previous Teflon blades, which actually worked real well for me. So I took the chance. These blades have a different design, and are very low profile. This was a great selling point for me...plus the fact that I bought them at store cost, Lol. The rubber wiper part of the assembly is glued (yes, glued) to a curved metal arm, which springs into a curve when removed from its plastic packaging. Check the link below



Has anybody else used these? What kind of feedback does anybody have on the product?

I have had one customer show me his on the back of his old dodge van. he liked it. but if they cost any more than the wiper blades i use (my work has these really good ones for 16.98/set) then i couldnt justify the price

That looks almost just like the new Bosch Icon blades! We put a pair of Icons on my wife's '01 Grand Prix and they work pretty well! We got them really cheap because she's inventory manager at Autozone.

Yeah, I'm almost certain that Trico is manufacturing them for Bosch. Bosch outsources a lot of miscellaneous stuff. With the Bosch name on it, it'll sell, no matter who manufactures it. List price was $23 each, so a walk-in customer would probably pay about $16 to $20 each for Innovision blades. I got them, of course, significantly cheaper, Lol. We'll see how they work. They sure look great! Prayin' for rain!

They worked pretty well in the snow here last night, too. They're good for a premium winter snow blade, as there's no spring bows for snow and ice to get stuck in. My wife got her employee discount, plus a $back mail-in rebate.
