Bosch Icon

I've read in a couple of places that these are still the best high performance / high speed wiper blades.

Does everyone agree, go with Bosch Icon? If so, factory sizes or any better options?

Or do you have any other suggestions for other brands/models?

Thanks

I have these and they are awesome. Always clean wipes. No issues. They also look much nicer than the replacements most car washes etc usually sell.

Figured so, but thought it might be good to ask. Not that I expect anything to work well at a buck fifty, but I want the best performance I can get.

Thanks for confirming!

I also used Bosch Icon, and they are great. I just installed a new set prior to this winter, and it's always recommended to change them out every year, due to the weather. I will continue to purchase them until they come out with something better.

Hated them, passenger side never put enough pressure on the outer part for a clean wipe.

Went back to OEM and all is well

I have oem on since I bought it 2 years ago and they are still fine. It's the uk too so they get used a lot!
