ICON Wiper Blades!

[Koz]

I bought a set of Bosch ICON wiper blades (at $40+) to replace the OEMs. After the first rain I returned them because they didn't wipe the whole windshield (couple inches short at the top). I bought them because they looked really good and they are the top of the line for Bosch. I'll be getting a set of OEM replacement blades today.

I was wondering how those were gona work....and based on your explanation they worked exactly as I figured they would.....

I wonder if the new Rain-X ones will work the same way....

Yep, others have had similar issues with the ICON blades...

Good idea Koz , I still have mine on , but need to take them off for the same reason.

My Rain-X ones worked great at first but I'm already seeing streaks (installed them in late March) and I expected they would last through the summer.

micro edge excel FTW!!! only blades i have used since they have been on the market...everything else just isnt worth the money or doesnt last nearly as long.

Supposed to rain so I switched them over to stock ones today.
