Bosch 421A ICON Wiper Blade - 21"

Title says it all. You need to decide how important visibility is for you because all these wiper blades wear out at the same way - quickly.

What can I say? New wiper blades are great. It's NEXT winter that will tell me how well they've held up. I can say that these are the easiest wipers I've ever installed. They look really good with their clean, uncluttered style. They hold against the windshield well at highway speeds. No complaints. I try to get as many miles out of a pair of wipers as possible, and I've found you get what you pay for. I've never had a complaint about Bosch wipers, and this is their newest "best" so I'm expecting another Bosch success.

After doing some research I bought Bosch Icon wiper blades for my 05 Mazda 3. I purchased them locally, with a buy-two-get-one-free mail in rebate deal from Bosch. So far I am very happy with them. Absolutely no streaking at all. They clean my windshield very effectively and are quieter than my old wiper blades (which were also Bosch, of the conventional type with metal frames). I also like the clean appearance, which looks good on my car. I've only been using them for a week so I can't comment on their durability or winter use.

Despite the fact that the Amazon part finder kept telling me that my 1998 Jaguar takes 19" blades (it doesn't) and that this part wouldn't fit (because it's 21"), the part fit perfectly. So perfectly, in fact, that I thought I was looking at the genuine Jaguar replacement part. For those of you unfamiliar, the Jag uses a single large blade. But, not just any blade will fit. The commonly available and inexpensive blades don't curve to the outside edges of the windshield, and thus do not fit. Until now, only the original Jag blades were available, at a ridiculously high price. I'm sold on this, and bought a spare!

I bought the Bosch Icon wiper blades for my wife's Infiniti FX about 6 months ago and was amazed at how well they hugged the windshield and cleared water. When my factory blades started to wear out on my Corvette, I immediately bought another set of the Icon's and they are performing equally well.

To conclude, these are pricey but worth it.
