Bosch F....cking Icons
 
:mad: :mad: I'm so pissed, I'm at my 3rd driver side Bosch Icon in less than 2 months and I got the same problem. It skips directly in my line on sight. The passenger side is fine but the driver side 4 some reasons is too curvy, therefore won't wipe right where I need it the most. The model #424A which I believe is the recommended model just doesn't hug the windshield properly. I left the 1st one on for a month thinking with time it will eventually fit but no.
Anyway any help, suggestions will be appreciated.

...pull the black guide tab that the OEM blade rests in..it is attached to the arm....worked for me....love my icons....

:iagree: It's not the wiper. The plastic guide on the arm catches on the rivet of the blade and prevents the blade from resting flat on the glass. The rivet had worn a groove into my guide from rubbing. Poor design.

Pull it meaning totally take it out?

Yep, remove that plastic piece on the metal wiper arm and it should be all good, bro:thumbup:

When you remove the plastic guide can you still put it back when reverting back to the OEM wipers?

u all suggest removing? i'm trying to get an idea
of what i need to remove; in hopes, that i don't
break anything. thanks!

It's the black plastic piece that forms a U shape around the wiper blade on the driver's side blade. I can't get you a pic till this evening so I hope that explains it.
