Some brands require 20-30+ SKUs to cater for today’s modern Australian CARPARC. TRICO TECH provides workshops with an opportunity to dramatically reduce inventory with upwards of 70% less SKUs to cover OVER 96% of DEMAND with just 11 part numbers.
Over the past twenty years the aftermarket has seen service intervals lengthening from 5,000km’s for minor services and 10,000 km’s for major services to now 15,000km intervals. Many drivers will even go beyond the recommended 15,000km and can get closer to 20,000km or servicing annually. During modern service intervals, wipers are exposed to Australia’s harsh seasons with extreme UV levels, dust, ice and rain. All of these conditions combine to reduce the life of wiper blades.
The long service intervals and the tough Australian weather conditions during these periods have changed the service requirements for safe wiper operation. Many wiper blades deteriorate and need replacing in between services. Testing and changing wipers during a service not only assists the customer in preventative safety and convenience, but secures the sales and profits for your business.
It is not a matter of just changing refills. The Refill market is declining as the Australian CARPARC ages. Today over 75% of new vehicles are designed with beam style wiper blades. Beam blades provide improved performance due to their sleek, modern styling. Beam blades suit more vehicles and are designed for highly curved windshields, compatible for the modern vehicle. TRICO TECH Beam blades provide all-weather performance with no corrosion points.
The TRICO TECH flat beam blade range provides fast, simple installation – with patented SWIFT Easy Connection Technology.
Each blade is supplied with 3 simple multi-fit connectors, enabling fast and easy installation on J-Hook, Pinch Tab, Push Button Wide, Push Button Narrow, Side Pin Wide and Side Pin Narrow wiper arm mounts. The low profile hook mounting connector can be reversed to suit above or below arm mounting as well as opposing wiper arm systems. All TRICO TECH blades feature a UV stabilised, 100% natural rubber element which provides quiet operation and superior wipe quality. TRICO TECH is available in 11 blade length options from 380mm to 700mm.
