Bosch ICONs for rear window

Even though it says they don't work, the 418B works for the rear window wiper.

Catching up on posts. Thanks for the info. I'm off the Autozone. I am so fed up with the hopping,smearing the OEM blade does.

None whatsoever. There is the plastic piece that holds the OEM wiper in place, and you just want to make sure it's not interfering with the Bosch when you install it.

Word of caution - early X5 rear wiper arm is not the hook type common today - Went to see my dealer (and to check out what was actually on the rear of a new X5) - seems there is a new wiper arm available - my dealer is installing mine tomo...,er, today - free install, just charging me for the wiper arm - I'm supplying the 418B ICON wiper.

I went to Pepboys and Autozoen and could not find those wipers?

Any advise on locating Bosch ICONS ?

thanks.
