Traditional wipers kept chattering and smearing on my 97 Silverado's windshield. I purchased these wipers and the chattering is mostly gone. They provide a nice, even swipe and only chatter when the windshield is dry.
These were quick and easy to install, requiring only a few seconds per wiper.

Works for a few weeks
Well these blades are cheaper than the original beam style blades for a reason. Cheap imatation copy. Falls apart after a couple weeks of use. Spend the extra $5 and get the real originals...Read complete review

Comments about Trico Flex Windshield Wiper Blade, 18":
Purchased this blade just under 4 months ago and it already needs to be replaced. I expect the average life of a wiper to be at least 6 months before the rubber compounds begin to breakdown. This blade works well in light rain on the intermittent setting, but when it starts to come down the noise is almost unbearable. It seems like a fickle thing to complain about, but imaging driving for ~30mins with something squeeking and squawking in your ear non-stop. This is in the warm months too, so no excuses of the rubber being too hard. The performance got WORSE as the weather got colder. With last nights storm in New England (12/29/12) the blade was jumping across the windshield until it was able to warm up. This is not an isolated case either since 3 other blades of the same kind were purchased between 2 vehicles.

Comments about Trico Flex Windshield Wiper Blade, 18":
Winter in Northern Michigan. Drifted over roads, people who in less than a year forgot how to drive in snow, and prying ice out of wiper springs. Well, at least I don't have to play wiper tag anymore! No place for ice to build up in.

They don't last long, and the whole blade doesn't make contact with the windshield. This gets worse as the outdoor temps drop. Terrible wiper. Nothing beats a regular wiper, or so it seems.

I've been using the product for the past month now & everything seems to be working great. The product is so far living up to its name and not leaving any streaks. It works well when I have to clean just about anything including bugs off my windshield.
