Good job :thumbup:

Almost four years later, I replaced this set of Bosch Icon wipers yesterday. They were starting to get a little smeary, so I figured it was time.

I replaced them with new Icons and it is raining cats and dogs today, so I replaced them just in time! :)

BTW - I'm not sure if this is a national sale, but I got them at Advance Auto Parts for "Buy 1 Get 1 50% off!" :)

Weird. I picked up Rain-X wipers all around, ended up returning the driver side wiper to replace with a Bosch Icon, and it's having the same problem - leaves a big spot in the middle of the windshield where the curve of the blade lifts the blade well above the glass. Anyone know why this might happen? And maybe how to fix it, too?

As posted MANY MANY MANY times on this forum... AND even on the Bosch website, you have to snap off the metal tab on the wiper arm. :stickpoke

:thumbup:.... Thanks for the reminder Michelle. Going out to get a set today
If this is an E-53 install what was the stock number?

My local autozone don't carry Bosch Icon's:( but my rain x have them holding up okay for about a year now:thumbup:

Yii, it's from Advance Auto Parts, not Autozone :)

Barry - Yes... on my E53. I got 424A for the driver's side and 422B for the passenger's side.

Yii - Go here: Where To Buy, enter your zip code, and look for stores that sell the Icon blades. :thumbup:

Michelle, did you buy driver and passenger metal wiper arm as well or just the one in the back?
