Detailed Description

TRICO Shield part number 20-280 is a specific-fit hybrid wiper blade designed for drivers who need dependable windshield clearing on passenger vehicles and light trucks. The hybrid blade design combines the flexibility of a beam blade with the structure of a protective shell, helping the blade maintain contact on contoured glass. The natural rubber wiping edge is paired with an attached spoiler to support steady performance in changing weather conditions.

This part cross-references ANCO T-28-UB for the same application. It is listed across a broad range of vehicles, including Toyota Corolla, Toyota Prius, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Altima, Honda Civic, and Toyota Sienna applications, along with additional fitments such as Jaguar XF and several Ferrari models. For shoppers searching for a 28-inch hybrid wiper blade for a Toyota Corolla front left or a Nissan Maxima left-side application, the TRICO Shield 20-280 is built to match those specific positions.

What It Helps Address

• Streaking caused by worn or hardened wiper rubber
• Skipping or chatter on curved windshields
• Poor windshield contact from aging conventional blades
• Reduced visibility in rain, slush, and road spray
• Fitment issues on hook-style wiper arm connections

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and wiper position before ordering. This blade uses a pre-attached adapter and is listed for 7mm hook, 8mm hook, 9x3 hook, and 9x4 hook connection types, so the wiper arm style must match the application. Review the vehicle-specific fitment notes for left, front left, front, or front right placement, especially on Toyota Corolla, Toyota Prius, Nissan Maxima, and Honda Civic applications.

Quality Assurance

TRICO Shield 20-280 is built as a high-performance hybrid blade with a specific-fit design for listed applications. The construction uses a spring steel beam structure, natural rubber wiping edge, and protective shell to support consistent operation across the confirmed fitment range.
