Here is a great link on the Trico web site for stores that carry the Inovission line. www.tricoproducts.com/brochure.cfm?brochure=1043I looked at the Bosch blades but they are not available for the Aurora (although AutoZone give the part #, they don't work) Wow, this looks like a great find. I'm going for a pair today as the blades on the Aurora need replacing. THANKS TJM !!! |

Got mine yesterday, from NAPA, Pepboys didn't have any. The first Napa I went to had to look them up and I had to go across town to the other one. Glad I did, this are the best wipers I've ever used. The center area is a bit chunky, but it looks nice IMO. At NAPA, they're under their name as the brand, part# 60-2242. The total was $37 for both including my AAA discount at NAPA of 7%. Install was easy. Make sure they come with a little plastic adapter floating around in the package, you'll need to swap them out. I hit the mount with a q-tip and some TW Super Protectant and the pins with light amount of WD-40 sprayed into a paper towel and applied, make sure you have at least 3 hours in the sun for everything to dry. I got to use them briefly on the highway last night, and they're amazing, no noise and perfect performance.  NAPA is where I got mine, Advance Auto cannot get them yet! None available anywhere in PA. Weird. Anyhow, they work just like Shroom is saying. They are very quiet and clean excellent - and they better for $18 a peice! |

Why did you do that? I had just posted a link on Amazon for about $13 each including shipping...

I meant buy them at more than $10 more than my amazon.com link... but whatever, to each his own. I simply hate spending too much money on something  |

OK, gotcha. Shipping??? And, mine were falling apart and this time of year getting things in the mail can be a bit aggravating. I would have loved to saved those bucks though!

I thought "dang, $13 and $7 shipping, I'll just pay the $18 at the store, better to have 'em now for a few bucks more". Needless to say I still don't have 'em. The NAPA guy was real nice and could order them, I said no thanks, I think I know where I can get them. He did have some old stock Mobil 1 with the old PAO formula that I snagged, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
PS Just ordered them, thanks Nutman.

Yah, yah, yah. Went there to order another set. Turns out I would have saved less than .50 through Amazon. However, when it does come time to replace the wipers on the "98" then I'll probably go with A-zon.com Thank you! |

I'm confused. Shipping is free over $25 order. Two wipers = $27.90.
Or did they discontinue that in the past week or two?

I bought the Trico version for $12.99 each at BJ's. Gave a set to my wife as a stocking stuffer. They look good and work well. Hopefully won't fall apart too quickly as mentioned on Amazon.

Had the car frozen over (i.e.. windows wouldn't go down, had to use the ice scraper, HARD!) over the weekend in Ithaca, NY two mornings in a row. In a rush, used the ice scraper for some of the ice, wipers/washer fluid/defroster for the rest. Wipers worked fine in the snow and ice, and afterward, were completely noiseless even on a completely empty windshield.
Granted, all new wipers tend to be pretty good. It's time that separates the good ones from the bad. So, we'll see....
