Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this because I wanted a blade that looked just like the OEM one. What's the point of a connector that looks identical if the blade looks different? My original had a slotted vented appearance, while this one did not. That might not be a big deal, except the other Exact Fit blade (different length) I got for the same car did not look like this one. It looked closer to the OEM. I don't want blades that don't match each other, and might even react differently to wind.
I ended up getting the Trico Products 15-240 Teflon Wiper Blade - 24" instead. It's not touted as an exact fit, but it matched the OEM blade very closely in appearance. It also matched the other Teflon blade I got for the other side of the windshield. It installed in seconds, and came with extra fittings just in case it did not have the exact connector by default. The fitting did not look exactly like the OEM one, but functioned exactly like it. I'd rather have a blade that looks identical than a fitting that looks identical (but can't be seen once installed.)
Another minor quibble is that the Exact Fit blade was not the exact length of the OEM. It would not have made a difference, but the name implies that this blade is much closer to what I expected than it was. The only thing that Exact Fit means is that you can be sure that the default (and only) connector will not need to be snapped off and replaced with a different included connector before installing. If you might consider that a challenge, you might consider changing any blade a challenge.
Prices fluctuate, but the Teflon blade might be close to the price of this one, and possibly even lower, especially if there's a rebate in effect.
