For anyone that can't find the Trico wiper, the Bosch A380H is the same size and also fits the MME.
Thanks, got the Bosh as the Trico is not available over here (and I prefere Bosh if they both were). Perfect fit. It does not have the stupid “hook” just klick it in. No pulling or pushing sideways. ??

Has anyone tried a 16 inch blade?

I haven’t been able to find a 16” that will fit. If you find one, please post a link.
Okay, thanks... If I find something I'll try it and let you know.
Bosch > Trico

So I got the Trico 15-G but how do you get the Trico off? It seems to secure way more on the arm and it’s impossible for me to get it off. Also, is the wiper supposed to make a click when it hits the left and goes back to the right?

To get the Trico off, just pull the wiper arm away from the rear windshield and then pull the blade straight the other way toward the windshield until it pops off. Don't do this with the OEM blade though or you'll brake it (and possible the arm).

Mine doesn't click.

I got my car in April. Hasn't rained yet. No rain in the forecast for the foreseeable future. Still waiting to see if the longer blade will work properly.

Do you mind trying it without any water? Just one swipe? Mine makes a click or mechanical noise when no water, but then driving to work today I used the nozzle spray and it didn't click and then once the water was gone well enough, it clicked again. Hoping that is at least normal?

It's normal for any wiper to make noise when dry. It's not good for the glass or wiper either, so I wouldn't make a habit of it.

Oh certainly not, I just did a test swipe after installing the wiper and heard it and freaked out. Ok, thanks.

I have seen a lot of people have problems removing old wiper blade. Maybe best to buy ahead of time and have dealer put the new one on at delivery.

Could somebody make a closeup video of removing the old blade without breaking it? Perhaps I'm not doing it right :(. Too late, I broke it already.

Following the videos on here made removal of the old wiper simple. The Trico 15G snaps right in but only a single snap. It comes with an adapter to make it double snap but I don’t see any way to fit the adapter into the Mach E arm. Has anyone figured out how to use the adapter?
