TRICO Windshield Wiper Blades & Arms

TRICO Windshield Wiper Blades & Arms: Over a Century of Clear Vision

When it comes to windshield wiper blades and arms, few names carry the weight of history that TRICO does. Founded in 1917 as the Tri-Continental Corporation in Buffalo, New York, TRICO is credited with introducing the first mass-produced, commercially available wiper blade — and the brand has never stopped innovating since. With more than 1,000 patents accumulated over more than a century, TRICO stands as one of the most technically accomplished wiper manufacturers in the world, producing blades for consumers, professional installers, and original equipment manufacturers alike.

A Product Line Built for Every Driver and Every Condition

What sets TRICO apart in the wiper blade category is the sheer breadth and depth of its product lineup, engineered to meet the demands of vastly different vehicles, climates, and driving conditions. Whether you drive a daily commuter, a high-mileage truck, or an Asian-nameplate vehicle, TRICO has developed a purpose-built blade for you.

• TRICO Force® — These premium beam wiper blades feature the proprietary VorTec® aerofoil, a unique design that converts wind energy into added downward pressure on the windshield, keeping the blade firmly planted at highway speeds. Built with durable spring steel and curved to match modern windshields, they also include SWIFT® Easy Connection Technology for tool-free installation.
• TRICO Titan® — Engineered to last, Titan blades feature a life-extending Z7® infused rubber wiping element that is rated to last three times longer than the average wiper blade, plus a robust superstructure designed to maximize contact across today's highly curved windshields.
• TRICO Ultra® — Made in the U.S.A., these premium beam blades harness aerodynamic wind force and feature chamfer-edge end caps to protect against damage from ice scrapers, along with SWIFT® Easy Connection for fast swaps.
• TRICO Ice® — Designed for extreme winter conditions, these specialty beam blades feature rugged armor that seals the rubber blade structure from ice and snow, and high-strength rubber engineered to resist tearing even when blades freeze to the windshield.
• TRICO Chill® — A complementary winter option featuring a rubber boot design that shields the metal frame from ice and snow accumulation, with precision-cut heavy-gauge rubber rated for sub-zero temperatures.
• TRICO Silicone Ceramic™ — A top-tier, all-weather silicone beam blade with an exclusive ceramic coating that reduces friction and drag, rated to last three times longer than average alternatives.
• TRICO Solutions Series — A family of specialized blades including TRICO Truck (engineered for the heavier demands of pickup trucks), TRICO Asian Fit (an exact factory-match hybrid blade for Asian-nameplate vehicles), and TRICO High Mileage (designed specifically for worn wiper arms on vehicles with over 75,000 miles, using a high-mileage coupler to redistribute pressure by up to 40%).

Engineering Credentials That Matter

TRICO's dedication to quality is measurable. The company reports a defect rate of fewer than 20 units per million — a benchmark that reflects its OEM-level manufacturing discipline. TRICO's blades are rigorously tested to perform through more than 1.5 million wipe cycles across all weather conditions. The brand operates an 81,000-square-foot Global Technology Center in the Detroit area, the only facility in the region dedicated solely to windshield wiper research and development. This infrastructure underpins every blade in TRICO's catalog, from entry-level conventional blades to its most advanced silicone beam designs.

TRICO also produces a full range of rear wiper blades for SUVs, crossovers, and hatchbacks, as well as heavy-duty blades for trucks, buses, and RVs — ensuring that virtually every vehicle on the road has a TRICO fitment option. Across all lines, the brand's SWIFT® Easy Connection Technology minimizes installation time, making TRICO a favorite with both professional technicians and DIY drivers.
