I think I should have clarified, sorry man, I have 2 years on the same set of Bosch Icons (I bought them when I first bought the X), so I am perplexed at how you need refills every couple months. I never heard of refills for the Icons, never needed them. I always get a few years out of each set so they are worth it to me.
Is your glass clayed and clean of contaminants? if it is, is your winshield extremely pitted? Are the springs on your wiper arms tight or loose? Any of those could lead to decreased wiper life.
