Trico® Force™

TRICO Force™ is the most comprehensive multi-connection beam blade program in Australia. With SWIFT® Easy Connection Technology and trusted Trico® performance, the HighGlide™ treated rubber element ensures a clear wipe and outstanding performance for the life of the wiper blade.

The high wind beam blade, with a patented VorTec™ swept-wing spoiler, slices through wind speeds in excess of 220KPH caused by cross winds, buffeting truck winds and general traffic turbulence.

TRICO Force™ includes a robustly engineered superstructure which provides durable long life all-weather performance.

Trico® Wipe Performance Diagnosis

Inside the Vehicle

Squirt the washers and do a visual wipe test.
Look and listen for the 6 symptoms of poor performance;

• Streaking - fit a new blade
• Smearing - clean the screen & blade or fit a new blade
• Squeaking - fit a new blade
• Shuddering - fit a new blade
• Fishtailing - fit a new blade
• Unwiped - clean the screen & blade or fit a new blade

Outside the Vehicle

Visually inspect the blade assembly for damage and 'layover'. Layover is usually caused by excessive wear in the blade assembly. Change blade if required.

Lift the blade assembly up off the windscreen. Grab the wiper insert or rubber element in the centre directly opposite the blade to arm adaptor. Check for lateral (sideways) movement. If you can move the insert 5mm or more in total the blade assembly should be replaced.

Lateral wear of the blade-to-arm adaptor can produce excessive movement. Check for excessive movement or 'wobble' of the blade assembly away from the wiper arm. If there is free-play here it will accentuate the lay-over effect, significantly reducing the life of the wipers. If wear is found in the adaptor, the blade assembly should be replaced.
