Rear Wiper

[Track9979]

I got the trico 15G but it feels like there isn't enough pressure on the glass to actually wipe it well

I got this. Spendy but works really well.

The Shear Modulus (in GPa) of rubber is 0.0006.

You should be able to figure it out from there....

Is that five eights of f**k all

But… When wet there’s less friction drag but extra gravity load on the up-sweep and less on the down-sweep…

I didn’t experience that with my 2021 or my 2024 with either the Trico or the Bosch. Perhaps there is something funky going on with your wiper arm? I get a pretty clean swipe.

I have the same and agree it's great. I had the Trico 15-G and it was fine, but like the extra reach of the Bosch 16". It really is crazy that Ford only put a 14" blade on the rear window.

14"? Mine is only 12", on a stock 2024 Premium AWD ER. I taped the blade down flat to avoid measuring a curve across its chord.

Hmm, guess I remember incorrectly (or Ford downsized that too)

Seems Mach-E drivers aren’t used to handling something so small. Good to do the job right.

Once you go Bosch you don't go back

I've been searching for the Bosch A401H like has been suggested but they're simply not available anywhere I can find. Amazon has one for $25.99 from the UK and could be here in a month, but that's the only one I found. I did buy and install a NAPA 0-15-G (comparable to Trico 15-G). It fits and works but I'd still like to find a compatible 16" blade but so far no luck. Suggestions?

I have the 15” Trico, put it on Oct 2022, and it continues to work well. I’ve been very happy with it. I get a good, clean swipe.

I’ve used Ford FT4Z-17528-D (not DA), its identical to mach-e wiper but bigger. Its from Ford Edge, as far as I understood.

Ford replaced this part to ...-DA version, idk if it is the same wiper
