other Any beam wiper blades fit?

[Redtail]

I need the 15" blades for my late car, but I can't find a beam style blade to fit? Bosch Icons are available in 15" but it doesn't look like they will work on a bayonet mount.

Anyone successfully using these?

Trico Classic 33-150, they are silver metal holders and blades available on amazon.

16" blades will fit, if you don't mind a bit of the passenger-side blade not contacting the windshield when at rest due to the glass curvature. Your late car should use the more modern black blades, so the silver ones are a better choice for those of us with roundies and the silver wiper arms.

 

And to your actual question about the beam-style blades, I think they would look out of place on an '02 and would probably show few benefits over the traditional style on our very upright windshield. I run Icons on my E46, but on the '02 (and my former E30), I went with the traditional style.

I went to my friendly local auto parts store and spent some time this evening looking at wipers. I found a Trico beam type wiper that would fit the '02 and came home very excited with my prize. They fit the stock wiper arms just fine and look absolutely horrible. Even if there is a practical benefit they really just look bad. I'll stick with the standard Bosch classic style blades.

 

Thanks for the consideration my friends.

Maybe the Tricos I picked up were just extra ugly. Do you know the brand you like off hand?
