Valeo and Bosch icon wipers AMAZING!

Installed them today, the icon 18's in the rear excellent!!!!!

and the valeo 24's driver side 22's pass side(need to take the plastic guide off) they work amazing.

I had the Valeo's on my ML55 then got them for the X5 and the driver's side never swiped clear, saw some posts here prior and many mentioned to take it off. WOW is all I can say best upgrade/replacement on the car.

Would appreciate a bit more info,

For the rear icon is that the rear wiper? Then do you mean its a Bosch 18 inch blade? Do you have a part number please.

The Valeo is wipers for the front? So 24 inch on the drivers side and 22 inch on the passenger side. Again do you have a part number please.

Is the plastic guide a straight forward removal, is it an option in the instructions or is something I have to do over and above?

Thanks

The plastic piece on the drivers side, I just removed it with some pliers.

I used the Bosch Icon rear wiper in an 18 inch fitment, since I threw out the boxes already I don't have the part numbers all I know is it ended in 18A.

As for the fronts I used Valeos no part numbers I just ordered from Tire Rack
