Yup :thumbup:
Someone here posted that they don't fit.....well, they do. They blow away the OEMs.

Take care and enjoy the holiday weekend!!

I found them at Napa in NJ. Not sure if you have Napa up there.

Sorry to bump up an old thread, but I installed icons over the weekend and like many i seem to have a missed spot in the middle of my drivers side wipe. I know the plastic clip is gone, but the tab it sat on is still there. Do I need to remove the tab as well, or just the clip? I have not done any of the other wiper arm tension tricks yet like lube the pivots or tighten the nut, but I will.

thanks

It should sit flat, so remove what you need to remove.

Bosch is also doing a $10 rebate, at least at my local shop.

I have had Icons on my 240sx for years and they're my favorite wiper. Put them on all my cars and just replaced the old wipers on my X5 with some new Icons. No missed spot on mine. Probably an install problem.

Yup turns out I didn't have the plastic piece off like I thought I did. I also removed the rear one. Everything is 5x5 now.

Put Icons on my F-150 and love them, got them at my local SoCal AutoZone on sale for almost the same price as the Micro Edge. Would put'em on the X5, but the dealership just put new OEM's at the last service. Can't wait to actually see the rear wiper clean the window for once!
