ICONS--1 week later....
 

I posted that I was having a problem with the driver side wiper not functioning (bad wipe coverage)....well, a week later, I pulled the guide clip and the blade has nicely formed to the windshield--Upon operation, the blades are quite impressive...Silent, clean and sharp....now let's see how long they last in my pollution filled mecca....:tsk:

Hope this helps someone considering...

They are definitely w-a-a-a-y better than the OEM blades. Still looking for a rear replacement.
