Who makes Autozone's Duralast wipers?

Is the Duralast Flex the same as Trico Flex?

I tried googling the description of the wipers, but got no match. Very often, the parts stores' house brand parts are the exact same as a mainstream name brand.For example, Napa and Autozone's reman CV axles are reboxed A1 Cardone, and the product descriptions are identicxal to A1 Cardone's.

But no such luck with these Duralast wipers.

I have a gift card to Autozone that will partially cover them. And the best part is, even with "$5 off" promo and my gift card balance, they still come out to be more than a pair of Trico Tech from Rock Auto--even though the shipping is $6!

It doesn't matter who makes them. I doubt Anco/Valeo/Bosch/?/Trico uses their top notch rubber compound formulation for house brands.

Cheap house brand wipers from WalMart have always worked well, and for a long time for me.

The lowest bidder! Those a-zone wipers are junk. Didn't last a season.

I ended up ordering the Trico Tech from Rock Auto

Trico made some of the Duralast.

Yep. I've been buying them for the past 15 years and no problem.

I buy my wipers at Ocean State Job Lot for $2.99 each. That is for Michelin brand.

I installed the Trico Tech wipers, and they are awesome. They seem to be the exact same as the Trico Flex they replaced
