BOSCH Icon blades are hands down the best!

BOSCH Icon. Over Rain-X anyway. I used to run Rain-X til I got tired of them chattering at any speed over 80mph. The BOSCH blades are actually designed to stick to the windshield and they last forever (rather than the Rain-X which lasted about 5 months).

agreed! didnt no if it was just me but I was just about to say the same thing about the rain-x blades, at like 85-90mph the passenger blade wants to take flight. other wise still a very nice wiper.

i will try these bosch next.

just ordered the Bosch Icon's, let's see how it goes. Otherwise I'll get the Rain-X if the Bosch's aren't as good.

I put the Icons on yesterday, after detailing the outside of my car for 10hrs. I had the pleasure of using the blades this afternoon. (fml) They worked great though, I just wish I didn't have to use them so soon.

I have used the Bosch Icons for the last 4 seasons on my Z, and just switched them out for Rain-X beam wipers a few days ago so we will see how they last. I have had the Rain-X wipers on my truck all winter and they have held up great.

I deleted my rear wiper.

remove your wipers for front end weight reduction. Z's shouldn't be driven in the rain
