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? All compatible blades have a connector that looks correct. My original blade 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 bought at the same time for the same car did not look like this one. Many vehicles like mine use two different length blades. Getting blades that don't match each other is not what I expected from the description. Blades might even react differently to wind based on the absence or presence of holes.
I ended up getting the Trico 16-240 NeoForm Wiper Blade with Teflon instead. It's not touted as an exact fit, but it matched the OEM blade very closely in appearance. The two blades of that model matched each other's appearance too. 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 other brands, you will get additional connectors that snap on and off in seconds so the blade could be adapted to any arm. If you consider that a challenge, you might consider changing any blade a challenge.
The other blade is better, and close enough in price that I can't see the point of getting this one.
