Bosch Icon Wiper Blades

I didn't see anything posted about them, so I thought I'd share. I picked some up a couple of weeks ago, and they rock!

The blades cost a bit more, but I love the simple, yet effective design. They are made of one piece that actually sticks to the window more as you gain speed thanks to a small lip. If you live in a cold area, there are no moving pieces to freeze (like most conventional wipers). Overall, there is less to break.

I recently took a road trip though some nasty Louisiana storms, and they easily held their own.

I didn't replace the rear wiper with an icon because they don't seem to make the proper size (16" I think). After thinking about it, maybe they wouldn't stick as well on the rear due to their lip design - but, I could be wrong.

I just purchased some today. They do look quite cool, have to wait for rain to see how well they perform. They conform to the windshield much better on the pass side than old ones. I work at a parts store and had some trouble finding some but finally did. Pricey around probably $18 a piece depending on where you find.

Rain X does its job to the point I usually dont need my wipers. I have some Michellin wipers that do a pretty good job when I do end up needing them.
