Description

TRICO Wiper Refill — Your Windscreen's Best Mate!
> Right, so your wipers are playing up? That's a real bummer when you're trying to see the road! These TRICO refills are the bee's knees — just the rubber bit that slides into your existing wiper frame. Over time, the harsh Kiwi sun and general wear and tear make that rubber harden, crack, and basically forget how to do its job properly. This little beauty brings it back to life, clearing your view like a champ!

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Streaking or smearing across the windscreen, especially at night
• Chattering or juddering noise during wiper operation
• Missed sections where water isn't cleared
• Visible cracks, splits, or chunks missing from the rubber edge
• Squeaking sound on dry or lightly wet glass

Will it pass WOF?
Yes, provided the refill restores effective windscreen clearing. Under NZTA WOF requirements, wipers must clear the driver's field of vision without significant streaking or missed areas. Damaged or ineffective wiper rubber is a common WOF failure point—replacing refills before inspection is a cheap insurance policy.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 2/10 | Time: 5-10 minutes | Tools: None required

Wiper refills are one of the simplest maintenance tasks. Slide the old rubber out of the blade frame's metal or plastic retaining clips, then feed the new refill through. No tools needed for most blade designs. The only challenge is ensuring the refill length matches your blade—trim to size if supplied longer.

What's in the Box?
• TRICO rubber wiper refill insert (check listing for length and quantity)

Fitment Notes
This is a universal refill—verify the length matches your existing blade before purchase. Common NZ sizes are 400mm (16"), 450mm (18"), 500mm (20"), 550mm (22"), and 600mm (24"). Not all blade designs accept refills; some modern beam blades require full blade replacement. Check your blade frame has removable metal or plastic clips holding the rubber in place.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're replacing this wiper refill, make sure you've got the right workshop prep, protection, and safety gear ready. Taking a bit of extra time and using the proper safety stands and cleaners makes all the difference for a professional result!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Always secure your vehicle on heavy-duty safety jack stands before working underneath. Never rely solely on a hydraulic jack.
• Clean Hands: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your skin from grease, oils, and chemical sprays.
• Preparation: Have microfibre towels and a suitable parts cleaner nearby to keep components clean during installation.
