Product Line Details

TRICO Exact Fit - Factory Replacement is the brand line for OE-style replacement blades built to follow original vehicle specifications. The 18-1HB uses that approach to deliver a direct-fit hybrid design for vehicles that require a precise arm connection and blade length.

Detailed Description

TRICO Exact Fit part number 18-1HB is designed for drivers who need a direct replacement hybrid wiper blade with OE-style fitment. The hybrid construction pairs a protective outer shell with a steel structure underneath, helping the blade maintain its shape while delivering steady wiping performance. This makes it a practical choice for vehicles such as the Acura RDX, Hyundai Sonata, and Toyota Corolla Cross where exact fit and proper arm connection matter.

This part cross-references ANCO T-18-UB and DENSO Auto Parts 160-3118 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

• Confirm the vehicle uses an 18-inch blade and a 9x3 Hook or 9x4 Hook connection before installation.
• Use the pre-attached adapter supplied with the blade for the correct hook-style arm.
• Inspect the wiper arm for wear or damage before installing the new blade.
