Title: No 1st/2nd gen wiper refills?
Post by: b5blue on December 06, 2020, 07:04:09 PM
Trico #43-150 blade refills NLA? I've been using the refills for over 20 years and looks like now that is a "rare" (Overpriced) item. So many cars use these I'm disappointed they are discontinued.

  Yea 10-15.00 each VS the 3.00 for refills.  :2thumbs: Florida is tuff on wipers. I installed wiper delay to help. Refills were so cheap I bought extra last time so I've backup.

I have been simply purchasing the blade and swapping the refill.
I haven't been able to find refills in general for any of my cars.

I could buy a Trico Classic blade set for my car and 3 pairs of refills for them... not anymore simply because Trico doesn't make them anymore. Will have to buy any aftermarket blade around with the closer rubber available ( 16 or bigger ) and fit the rubbers on my blades sooner or later, BUT using the metal inserts from the Classic refills

Hey Nacho I found "ANCO 11-16" refills I bought for my Jeep. (Still new.) The Jeep is long gone are they what you need?  :scratchchin:

so far so good I'm not needing them now. My car is still dissasembled since 2013 and I still have the 3 pairs of refills LOL ( or maybe 2 ? ). Actually I like more Tricos than Ancos, and I think they don't interchange that easy. Trico made an upgrade on design what makes them work better than Ancos.
