Trico Shield Hybrid Wiper Blade HF450 – Nissan 350Z Passenger Side and Rear

The Trico HF450 Shield is a premium 450mm hybrid wiper blade for the Nissan 350Z Z33. It fits both the front passenger side and rear window positions on the 350Z, which both use the same 450mm (18 inch) blade. The Shield is Trico's hybrid design a crossover between a conventional framed blade and a flat beam blade combining the superior windscreen contact of a beam blade with the added protection and weather resistance of a high-strength polymer shell encasing the wiper element.
The hybrid design gives the HF450 a distinct advantage in harsh Australian conditions. The high-strength polymer hinged shell protects the internal beam structure and rubber element from UV exposure, heat, road grime, and debris that degrade exposed rubber blades over time. The result is a blade that performs like a beam but survives like an armoured wiper particularly well suited to the 350Z's low windscreen profile and the elevated temperatures of engine-bay radiated heat.
