It might be so that the wiper connection is not exactly in the center of the blade, bosch 21" comes as far out as valeo 22" difference is where it does not matter as mutch, on the inside

So, does the Bosch icon 422B lift off from the windshield when at rest or is the whole rubber blade making contact with the windshield?

There is still about 3/4" or so at the very end that doesn't make contact, but that is only at rest. It makes perfect contact when turned on.

Just installed the Icons today (rainy weekend in Phoenix, AZ...oh the humanity!!!)

I love the look of these things.

Now not reading this entire post first...on the rear wiper I did tear out the little plastic piece that hangs down and holds onto the OEM wiper...will I regret doing that? I don't see it's needed for these new wipers and I don't plan on puting the old ones back on.

Thanks!

Does anyone have pictures or the Bosh Icon 418A on their rear window??
