The TRICO Flex line focuses on beam-style wiper blades that provide consistent pressure distribution across the windshield. This design helps maintain clear visibility by adapting to the windshield’s curvature with infinite pressure points. The 18-170 model benefits from this technology, ensuring smooth wiping performance on vehicles such as the BMW 328i, Toyota Corolla, and Honda CR-V.
