TRICO Flex Product Line Features

The TRICO Flex line focuses on beam-style wiper blades that offer a flexible, frameless design to maintain consistent pressure along the windshield. This design improves contact and reduces streaking compared to traditional bracket-style blades. The 18-290 model benefits from this technology, providing reliable wiping performance tailored to specific vehicle models.

Detailed Product Description

The TRICO Flex 18-290 wiper blade features a natural rubber blade material that ensures effective water removal without damaging the windshield surface. Its beam blade type eliminates the need for multiple pressure points by providing infinite pressure distribution along the blade length. The frame is constructed from a plastic and steel blend, combining strength and corrosion resistance, while the black frame color offers a discreet appearance. An attached spoiler enhances aerodynamic stability, reducing lift and noise during operation.
