First launched in 2013, Trico Flex has become one of Trico’s most successful aftermarket products, being hugely popular with independents, largely due to its exceptional quality and 95 per cent coverage of the vehicle parc from only 14 part numbers, meaning it requires minimal stock investment.

The wiper uses a beam blade for maximum windscreen contact and the arm design is lower and flatter than previous versions, with a cleaner integration between arm and blade, resulting in increased visibility through the rear windscreen.

With the clocks going back soon, it’s time for workshops to think of the products that will sell most at this time. Wiper blades are one such candidate.

Indeed, a poll commissioned by Halfords found that 6.5 million cars are being driven by motorists with faulty wiper blades.
