TriCo Wiper Blade Refills
 

So my blades were chattering and making an awful noise so I decided to change the blades. Go to the store and look and say WTF??? The new style flex blades for 24" was $28 for the Bosch Icon and $22 for the 22". $50 for a set of blades? I start asking the store guy if there was a deal or anything and he said no not at the moment.

So I start looking for refills for the original blades that I kept. I bought a set of TriCo refills for $5.99. So I go home and take the old ones out and start fitting the new ones. Now they fit. The Driver side went on ok, the pass side was a little bit of a bear. If you want to get technical... TriCo gives 3 options for the inserts. 6,7,and 8 MM. 7mm is for the driver side and the 6mm is for the Pass and rear blades.

I didn't bother using the new metal retainers that came with it, just used the old ones. Slapped them in and good as new. I also found out that the flex type inserts can also be serviced. I had a set of Bosch Icons and found the 7mm fit just fine.

Just incase anyone was curious. So instead of paying $30, $40, $50 for a new set, you can buy the 6mm and 7mm for $12 and have extra left for the next go around.

yup agree refils are easier
