Where to purchase Trico 19-1 Exact Fit Wiper Blade - 19" Exact fit? Maybe. Exact match? Not quite.By WayneI've used Trico blades in the past and have gotten at least average performance out of them. I selected this hoping it would match my existing OEM blades. All replacement blades should fit exactly with the right fitting installed, but what's the point if it does not match the OEM blade in appearance? This one was not quite the same, but close enough for my taste. The problem was that I needed two blades, each of a different length. The other Exact Fit did not match my OEM blade in appearance, and did not look like this one either. For me, that defeated the purpose. A minor quibble is that they were not the exact length of the originals, which would not affect anything, but it doesn't seem appropriate given the name.I ended up sending this back since the other blade would not work for me, and I bought the Trico Products 15-190 Teflon Wiper Blade - 19" instead. It matched just as well, if not better. The default fitting was as close to the OEM one as I needed and it installed in seconds. It's a Teflon blade too. You should check prices, since they fluctuate, and the other might not be much more than this one. It might be less, especially if there are any rebates.All they mean by Exact Fit is that the connector is the correct one for your vehicle. Chances are that would be true for any of their other blades. But the others contain alternate connectors in case the replacement does not fit. Changing the connector is a minor issue, and I would imagine that anybody who would have problems doing that would most likely be asking for help replacing blades anyway.See all 1 customer reviews... » More Information about Trico 19-1 Exact Fit Wiper Blade - 19".Thursday, June 30, 2011
