The American Optometric Association reports that 90% of all driving decisions are based solely on visual cues. That means having the best wipers is essential for safe driving vision. TRICO has engineered key technological advances into each wiper line to ensure each product performs better, lasts longer, installs easier and fits more vehicles than any other wiper manufacturer. TRICO wipers truly do enhance driver visibility.
Make sure all your lights - headlights, brake lights and signals - are working properly. Doing this on a weekly basis ensures that you'll have the best driving visibility at night, and will keep you from getting an expensive ticket.
Deteriorated wipers produce an uneven wipe, which prevents proper contact with the windshield surface. This will create unwiped or streaky areas, severely impairing your driving vision.
If any of the conditions below describe your wipers, replace them today with new TRICO® blades:
Streaking
Caused by dry rubber that has hardened and cracked. Streaking can also be caused by tree sap, road tar and other foreign substances on the blade rubber.
Chattering
Caused by the "permanent set" or "curve" in the rubber that some wiper blades develop while they are not being used. This condition is characterized by the chattering sound the blade makes as it passes across the windshield.
Worn Rubber
General rounding of the wiping edge caused by age.
Split Rubber
A condition found on blades that are old, or may be due to the effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays on the rubber.
Bent Refill or Wiper Frame
Sometimes caused by ice scrapers, automatic car washes or vandalism.
