Its a case of you get what you pay for,
Trico are the OEM wiper for your car and in my opinion the best rubber for Australian conditions.
Their catalogue lists the new Trico Tech Blades
Trico Australia - Vehicle Application


Can anyone tell me a good brand of wiper refills? I just put Supercrap ones in mine and will be pissing them off real soon. They leave a haze like covering that dissapears after a few seconds, and sort of "web" a bit too.
I did the ones in my missus' Kia and I think they were Tridon, they seem really good.
I don't like twin blade ones because they can trap crap between them, and I don't want the ones that give a noisy "flip, flap" each time the wipers cross the windscreen and back.
Are Tridon the best? Or are there better or equal quality ones?
Experiences and opinions appreciated.

Thanks guys, I did end up going to Holden and got AC Delco for about $8. They also had some other "genuine" ones for over $20, but the AC Delco are now fitted and are reasonably good, definately better than the "SuperCrap" ones!
I have a habit of going to Auto accessories stores, but should try ringting around a bit more first. Bt the way, like I posted in another thread, I priced a pair of O2 sensors at Holden and the bloke said they are over $400! Some things are better to buy the non genuine I think.

Yeh, I told the bloke at Holden that I could get them elsewhere for half that price and he said "Oh but these are especially for VY" crap, crap. I think different Holden dealers' parts vary in price greatly judging from other posts I've read on JC. I just noticed that you're in Tamworth, which could not be much more off the beaten track than Bundaberg, so I can't understand why prices can differ so much.
