Thumbs up Trico wipers

My dealer replaced my original Mercedes wipers with new ones since they were chattering so badly. A couple of weeks later, they're much better than they were but still not great. I put on a new pair of Trico NeoForms and the difference is quite pronounced: no chattering, better cleaning and quieter in normal operation. We'll see how they last. I also have a pair of Bosch wipers to try once the Tricos are end of life.

2010 E350 Coupe
Just a word of warning on Bosch. I just purchased and installed Bosch Icons on my E350 Coupe. Will be removing them immediately as they are the noisest screeching wipers I've had on ANY car. I suspect that different wipers might behave differently depending on the car but I would be remissed not to share this. And they aren't cheap!!

Thanks for the heads-up. I will probably just return them then. The Tricos seem to work well. Definitely an improvement over the stock MBZ wipers (which frankly seems ridiculous - why don't they just OEM Tricos?)

Thanks for posting this. I have $35 credit at Firestone, and was going to buy Bosch ICON wipers for my E350 coupe since they were great on my Maxima. Now I'm not so sure.
