Winter wiper blades
So,
Just had a dump of 10” of snow.
The Trico wiper blades immediately iced up and were only partially effective.
Anyone have any recommendations for wiper blades for winter?

I always find Bosch blades to be the best for me but then we just don't experience the extremes of winter that you do.

I’ve tried a few, and LR ones always are better than the rest.

Ok thanks!

We have wipers here specifically for winter that have a rubber shroud around the blade to keep ice from building up.
Sadly, dont seem to be any available around here as small as 12”.

Ill look for some genuine LR ones.

I’ve had bad problems with icing of both the conventional and AeroTwin types. Even with the heated screen on had to keep pulling over to remove ice from the blades. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I believe you want 13" blades, not 12
