please stay away from bosch icons. I had them for a short time and hated them. They streaked like cheap blades and after a couple months they would just miss part of the windshield, like it just smears water.

I got the rainx blades, I think just as expensive as the icons, but they've been perfect since day 1. Had them for almost a year now.

i think the ones i got are ION... the one piece blade setup. mine work great ever since i bought them and i have them on all of my cars.... just wipe down the blade when ever it doesnt make a clean swipe... which is only about every other month if that in my case.

lmao ive had the complete opposite. Rain x ones crapped on me as soon as i popped them on and tried to clean my windshield. I even returned them and got a brand new one and that one still crapped out on me and well the bosch Icons have worked perfectly since day 1.

You mean these ones? Because they're the Bosch Icons.

i can vouch for the rainx ones being complete garbage too

i'm using Anco Contour wiper blades (pretty much the same as bosch) and they're great

Stayed home today and ended up detailing the interior.
Finally got around to pulling off the center console and cleaning in there, (Previous owner ate in the car) and man was that disgusting!

^ get a hot glue gun. and simply glue the wipers to the arm.. that will keep them from flying off and also the hot glue can be removed cleanly at any time it wont fall off but you can pick it off still and have it cleanly removed.
