Default Bosch Windshield Wipers A+++

So its been raining here a lot in San Antonio and I decided to splurge on some woper blades so I went out and bought a pair of Bosche Icon's. WOW! These are great!! Streak free and looks great!! Kinda pricey even with a buy one get second half off. Total was approx. $34.

If you are in a market for wiper blades go get the Bosche Icons.

Pics to come.

I installed these when I first got my car at ~6k miles. 60k now and still on the same set. Granted the car doesn't see alot of rain, but it has been in some rough South Florida summer weather.

I usually just by cheap ones and replace them once a year. If these stay streak free for the long haul than im interested.

I work for a major auto parts chain & have tried them all. ICON is by far the best on the market.

Me too but I wanted to get the "aerodynamic" blades. LOL They are really built nice. They look better than the usual metal frame replacements.

I've tried them on 2 of my cars and wasn't impressed. They worked fine, but no better than the Anco cheapies that I normally buy, and they didn't last any longer.

I can't even begin to imagine having the same wipers for 3 years or 54k miles worth of driving!

I bought GM replacement blades, $11 for a set a year ago when I got my V. A year later they still work like new
