thank you.
Those are what just came off of my truck. Put on last fall. Worked great for 6 months. Then slowly the rubber degraded in the summer sun. I paid $11 for a pair ITD, felt they were a good value.Got my blades in 2 days and put them on yesterday. Just in time as it rained most of the day. Work great, quiet, smooth and streak free. They were made in Mexico but so was my 2005 Chevy truck.
as I posted on the other thread about wiper blades, it's odd that Bosch seems to be having trouble with their quality lately. Usually I use the Bosch Excel+ conventional blade (lighter than the beams is why I use them, less stress on the wiper motor).. but replacing the excel+ I had on there, I've been through about 3 blades, because of streaking, etc. I did clean the windshield with Bon-Ami to make sure there was nothing on the glass. That didn't make much of a difference. So I gave up on the Bosch and based on what TimMastertech was saying in the other thread, went to the Trico View (conventional) blade and BAM! Finally, clear/clean wiping of the windshield! In the past I wouldn't have considered Trico but looks like things improve over time!
I also noticed that the trico view blades (on the windshield edge side, passenger side) curve to the windshield where the old Excel left it hanging in open air! Ok well they were only $10 a blade at my local auto parts store so I'll see how they go..
I'm just thankful to everyone here to have asked the question about wiper blades, it is the time of the season to have good ones!
The nice thing about the OE Mazda blades is the replaceable refill available from Mazda. As long as the the frame is in good shape, the refills are less expensive than the new blades.Interesting that you mention this because I replaced my OEM Denso blades on the Mazda to Bosch. I can’t remember the model line (Focus?) but they worked fine for several months then suddenly I am getting that same residue and chatter on the windshield. Copious amounts of windshield washer fluid helps but I am going back to the OEM here soon.

Just after I made my last reply here, guess what shows up?

I sure will.Let us know how they are. I got the Trico Ultra so its all weather. However this has the smooth glide.
Why does Ford have to over complicate things?Those fit many late model fords.
