2022 Mazda CX-5 GS AWD (Canada)
Hi. This is my first post on these forums.
I bought a new CX-5 a few months ago and I love it. But I need to find wiper blades that can handle our Canadian winters. I have read all the comments on this forum about how poorly the OEM blades perform in winter conditions.
There does not appear to be much choice in Canada for any type of wiper blade. Pretty much all I can find are Trico Exact Fit (and the NAPA branded equivalent). I have had pretty good luck with various Trico blades in the past (during all 4 seasons) but I have not found many opinions about how well the Exact Fit works in winter.
I used Trico Ice on my '12 Mazda3 and I was very pleased with their winter performance. Alas, they will not work on the CX-5; they appear to fit but not securely.
Some have said that the Michelin Stealth blades will fit, but the push button adapter appears to be too wide for the CX-5's arm unless you modify the adapter.
Amazon.com sells this and ships to Canada, but I cannot find any reviews about winter performance.

Looking for opinions and suggestions. Thank you in advance.
