I put these on my 2017 F-150 because the Ford dealer replacements juddered and squeaked across the windshield unless it was a heavy rain.

The old dealer wipers (they were not Ford brand) came off with only a bit of a struggle, then the new Bosch Icons went on in seconds. If you need to, you can watch a YouTube video to show you how to remove the old ones, or install the new ones. About the easiest install I have ever done ... no assembly of adapters — just install right out of the box. So far they are performing perfectly.

As expensive as the Icons are, I will expect long life and continued good cleaning from them. If not, I will so report through an update.

Unofficial transcript of a conversation between Amazon founder, Jeff B., and Amazon Prime member Bradley N. (The "Yelp Whisperer").

(Recorded live in Santa Cruz County, California on August 22, 2019).

Jeff: Hi everyone, and welcome to Episode 2 of “Buzzin’ the Backroads with Bezos™,” a new Amazon Studios documentary series, in which I explore the hidden corners of the American landscape in search of automotive adventure. I fly into a remote location in my personal helicopter to meet with an Amazon Prime member on location, who introduces me to an automotive-related product purchased on Amazon that is particularly useful in the backroads of this amazing country of ours.

Today, we’re at a Big Basin Redwoods State Park, outside of Santa Cruz, California, staring up through a morning fog hundreds of feet into the air, searching for the top of a 1,000 year old giant redwood. The air here is wet and soothing, and inside the redwood grove it’s as quiet as a cathedral or temple. Wow! Simply stunning natural beauty.

I’ve flown in from Amazon HQ in Seattle to speak with Amazon Prime customer, Bradley N. about Bosch Icon wiper blades, which claim to last 40% longer than less expensive, competing replacement brands. Depending on the size needed for your vehicle, they cost around $10-$20 per blade, so definitely an investment for most car buyers who aren't multibillionaires like me. Let me get to the point, Bradley N. Are these German-designed wiper blades really worth it?

Bradley: Yes, Jeff. In fact, these Bosch Icon wiper blades are the best I’ve ever encountered when it comes to smooth, quiet windshield cleaning power. In light snow, heavy rain, road dust, and morning fog, they work perfectly, assuming you keep the blades clean of debris before leaving the driveway and have some good quality washer fluid topped off under the hood before you begin longer trips.

J: I think those are important points you make. The blades are obviously not self-cleaning, and for them to keep in contact with the windshield glass, they need to be well maintained. That seems to the case with many German-designed products we sell on Amazon, actually. If used properly, and treated well, they function as advertised.

B: My friends who are BMW drivers tell me the same thing. As long as you do regular maintenance, and as long as you have some technical knowledge (or a dependable mechanic who does), they are the ultimate driving machines.

J: Well, I have a whole team of people who maintain my fleet of cars and trucks, but I definitely want to check to make sure they are using Bosch Icon wiper blades on all my vehicles. In fact, I’m having my assistant look into this right away. But let’s get back to this amazing setting: the redwoods, they are so mighty but also so calming. It's as if the stress of being the world's wealthiest man is just melting away. Big medicine, wouldn't you agree?

B: Sure, Jeff. These ancient redwoods have amazing therapeutic effects that scientists are only now starting to realize, but that spiritual healers and indigenous peoples in the area long understood.. But these gigantic trees can be incredibly dangerous in winter storms, and even heavy fog can cause branches to break. If your car is parked near them, you’ll get lots of debris all over, so cleaning your windshield and wiping the Bosch Icon wiper blades with a cloth or even your fingers before leaving is recommended.

J: But how do Bosch icon wiper blades work in the snow and other adverse cold climate conditions? I like to ski in the Washington Cascades, and my family loves visiting Yellowstone in winter with other kids of Amazon executives. Would these wiper blades work equally well in sub-zero weather?

B: That’s a great question, Jeff. I’ve been to Yellowstone in winter when it was -10F in the morning, and I’ve gone cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the Cascades in near blizzard conditions, so I speak from experience. These Bosch blades are made to resist freezing and don’t warp or lose their effectiveness when it’s cold. But again: use a winter washer fluid rated to -20F or lower, and have a good ice cleaning tool at your disposal, like those by Mallory that are made in the U.S.A. and have serious leverage for getting ice and slush off the glass. Bosch Icon wiper blades are really good as designed, but they aren’t snowplows; they’re wiper blades.

J: And I assume they also work well with heavy rain and thick ocean fog, of the sort you encounter often on the northern California coast?

B: Oh yes, as long as the rubber blades are free of things like redwood needles, branches, and the like.

J: And they look really stylish, too. For wiper blades.

B: Bosch is really good that way. Design matters for Germans, no question.

J: I’ll say! This seems like a great product. Let’s wrap things up, why don't we? Got anything for us to snack on at the picnic area? I’d love to sample some local food and wine.

B: I brought a Weber grill, which I’ve loaded with Royal Oak natural lump charcoal that is all ready to go. I’ll be grilling Pomponio Ranch pastured raised beef ribeye steaks as well as Markegard Family organic pork tenderloin. We’ve also got heirloom polenta cakes, fresh sourdough farmhouse bread from Backhaus Bakery, heirloom tomato salad, lemon cucumbers in a fresh dill vinaigrette, mixed organic greens, and ripe sliced melon from Blue House Farms. We’ll serve Big Basin Vineyards 2012 Odeon Cabernet-Syrah red blend, along with their 2015 Alfaro Family Vineyard Pinot Noir – all from the local area. And we have local strawberries, organic vanilla ice cream, and blackberry pie for desert, with French Press coffee from Verve Coffee Roasters in Santa Cruz.

J: Sounds delicious! Have anything we might start with, cocktail-wise?

B: How about some nice gin and tonics, using Gin #2 from the Venus Spirits Distillery in Santa Cruz? Some of the best craft spirits in the county, I'd say.

J: Cheers, Bradley! Here’s to clean windshields and lots of useful votes on Amazon!

J: Cheers, Jeff! I can definitely drink to that.

Don’t hesitate to try these Bosch ICONs. I bought Rain-X Latitude wipers one year ago, and they were OK for awhile, but no matter how much I tried to clean them they still left streaks of junk/water/etc. on my windshield. Bought the Bosch ICONs this week, installed them in a few minutes, and it feels like I have a new windshield. Time will tell how long they will last, but I am very impressed so far. They’re a little more expensive than the Rain-X Latitude but it’s worth it when you don’t have marks on your windshield and they actually clear the water off.

The spoiler is to keep the blades tight against your windshield while driving on the highway at higher speeds.
These are NOT ICONS. I've used ICONS for years!... I'm not sure what the deal is with these Icon blades sold by Amazon, but these blades claim to have an Asymmetrical spoiler which means the little spoiler should be off center to one edge (which also resembles my factory blades). Twice now the Bosch Icon 22OE blade I have received from Amazon has the spoiler in the center of the blade. I ended up running to a local well known auto parts store and bought a 22OE blade and the Asymmetrical spoiler is along the edge like it should be. The one from the parts store also came packaged with several more adapters to make them work with many different models of vehicles and the Amazon blade came with none other than one that is pre-attached to the blade.

I'm replacing this same blade from one year ago and it worked pretty well. I noticed very slight streaking at about 4 months of use but wasn't annoying enough to replace. It's probably the best looking wiper blade I've seen that fits my Scion xA. I put the 24A on the driver's side and a 16A on the passenger side. My favorite thing about this blade is how easy it is to put on and take off compared to every other blade I've used on my car.

I had a negative experience with cheaper single blade wipers and resolved to never again try them. From this review you can tell that I gave them another try. These are incredible. The fit on my Toyota Highlander is perfect!

One of the cheaper blades I used in the past wouldn't stay on through blow dry at the car wash! These have a cap that closes over the top of the connection. They just won't come off without you wanting them too.

For over 1600 miles on a recent trip, through some nasty summer rainstorms in Oklahoma, Missouri and Illinois, these wipers performed flawlessly. I am particular about making sure that my wipers clear the rain and don't streak, squeek or chatter. So I was really paying attention and not just because these are a larger out of pocket cost.

If you haven't replaced your wipers in the past year, get a set of the ICONs. You deserve being able to see clearly in the rain. I know I won't be using anything else.

I bought a set of Bosch Icon blades for my 2012 Nissan Murano back in January of 2017. The performance and durability of these wipers has been outstanding. Due to life events with moving and purchasing a new home, and getting into a new job, my car maintenance routine suffered a bit. I spent more time in a dirty car then in a clean shiny one. I am pleased that despite my neglect the wipers held up and did their job for over 3 years. Recently I noticed that the passenger side blade has begun to lift and for the past month has not been making proper contact with the windshield, thus leaving the rain drops and grime on the windshield. So, it is time to replace them, and naturally I first looked at getting a second pair of these wipers. But the benefit of ordering through Amazon is our order history, and I noticed something that just didn’t sit well with me. The 26” blade has increased in price by over 45%, and the 16” blade by 16% over what I paid in 2017. The 2020 price for the 26” blade alone is as much as I paid for the pair back in 2017. I can’t justify the price increase. No update or upgrade from 2017 in the product is apparent. You get what you pay for, but sometimes you also get the same for what you overpay for. If money is no object for you, I highly recommend these wipers.

Mine only worked beautifully on the test wipes after install. They weren't streak free for even one day in the actual rain. The first day of light rain there was a tiny streak. Second day a few more. Now, having traveled through heavy downpours the blade leaves a pool of water in the middle of the driver's field of vision. I live in mild climate and the vehicle sits in a garage when not used so there is no excuse for these not to work day one. On a positive note, they are quiet. I wish they wiped as clean as they are quiet! The passenger side isn't as bad, but does streak. I can't switch them, though, due to the passenger side having a different fit requirement. I took a $50 chance on positive reviews and thinking higher price = higher quality, but lost this round. Now I must go out and find replacements before the "once in a decade" storm hits us.

I purchase this for my 2004 Jeep wrangler rocky mountain edition which uses 13 inch wiper blades, Following are my observations :-
- The arching is perfect and match the contour of my windshield perfectly. My earlier wiper used to miss out on the spots in the middle making it difficult for me to drive.
- Even in the winter the arching was perfect. Although I used to pull up my wipers so that they were not attached to the windshield when I knew it was going to snow. Also the heater is great in the jeep and use to direct all the hot air to the windshield while driving in snowy conditions. I am in mid-west if that helps.
- Installation was super easy and I was able to do it at home. Just remember to be careful not to smack the wiper holder to the windshield after taking out the old one and before you place the new one. You can cover it with a cloth as precaution.

I got these for a discount and went with warehouse deal so I didn't end up paying the retails and for the price I paid these are value for money. Also I just replaced the driver side. Also I feel having rainX in the washer fluid does make a difference in how wiper blade clean up.

Sad to report that these have been a tremendous disappointment to me. I have a Hyundai Genesis Coupe and had been using factory wipers for almost four years; they were fantastic. Considering I live in Florida and rain is prominent, I thought I'd spend a little extra for nicer replacements. Did my research and settled on the Bosch ICON blades. They've been on my car for about two months now and I can officially say I regret the purchase.

These things streak and wobble like crazy under the following conditions:

- When my windshield is dirty
- When my windshield is clean
- When my car is stopped
- When my car is moving
- When my windshield is barely damp
- When my windshield is drenched
- With Rain-X
- Without Rain-X
- When the wipers are going full speed
- When the wipers are set to their slowest setting

The only reason I'm not giving these wipers one star is that installation was easy. At this point, I'm just hoping they don't fly off my car during the next rainstorm. Save yourself the frustration and get something different.

Been using Icons on my '07 Silverado since 5 months after it rolled off the showroom floor. Been using Bosch p/n 443 up until this order - it seems the 443 has been discontinued. Figures too, since these here 22OE are a ROYAL PAIN to install AND remove. The 443 was a simple squeeze, "CLICK", done! These ones here require some fighting and colorful language to get them secure. Just an FYI, this ain't my first rodeo - I've been working on everything from bicycles to lawn equipment to cars & trucks since I was old enough to do so. These are officially a PITA to install! Seems Bosch hired a former GM engineer or something - take something that works great with simplicity ... and turn it into a friggin project.

Story of the 21st century, it seems!

These do not fit 2013 Audi Q5. Amazon states they are compatible, but they have a plastic flange that is too wide to fit in the wiper arm socket (see my pictures).

Pros:
- Used for several weeks no with no indications of streaking, chattering or degrading - seems to be long lasting
- Connector to wiper arm is concealed and more stylish than other metal frame open-style wipers

Cons:
- Price is a somewhat of a premium

Overall Impression:
I used to buy cheap wiper blades from Costco with every oil change... I drive a lot, so I was buying wipers every 3-4 months at $7-8 per wiper, but honestly those wipers (Goodyear) would be worn out before I was even scheduled to replace them. I rolled the dice on some new higher price, premium wipers with the rationale of saving money by buying fewer wipers that last longer and spending more money up front. After driving with these wipers for several weeks, I can tell they are much higher quality than what I was used to. I did some research and Bosch Icon wipers were at the top of several lists. Make sure you understand their sizing charts (there are A and B size wipers, can be a little confusing) - I'm happy with the purchase and hopefully these will save money long-term. The connectors for these wipers have a small "compartment" that with a lid that hides the j-hook which means a more sleek style which I really like.

These have been installed on a 2018 Suburban. Already, they have been used during heavy rain and snow. They have performed superbly so far.

Installation was very quick and easy, and required no tools or special parts assembly. Fitment across the windshield is mostly very good, except for the last inch or so at the far passenger end of the wiper when the wiper is parked. When the vehicle is stopped or moving slowly, the gap leaves about 2" x 1" unwiped; but when moving over 35mph there is no gap in wiping coverage due to the aerodynamics of the wiper I suppose.

Rain wiping is clean with no streaking and no noise at all. Snow wiping scrapes the snow off the windshield with no streaking or skipping. It piles wet snow at the wiper stop points, but that snow does not get picked back up by the wiper and dragged across the windscreen.

The first couple weeks with this product have been excellent. Given my historic experience of Bosch wipers I am sure this will give excellent service for at least as long as the major competition.

l struggled to find aftermarket wipers that fit my 2014 Altima. The design of the car's wiper arms make it so that the wiper blades are staggered. Due to the HUGE size, all other wipers would not properly lay against the window. The ends would be floating in the air, and it this resulted in terrible performance in the rain.

Problem solved! These Bosch wipers are awesome. They are well built and are designed in a way that the spine is more flexible. The 28" wiper lays perfectly against the windshield.

I'll be buying more of these in the future. Fantastic wipers.

Purchased on April 26, 2016. It's now Jan 28, 2018 (643 days or 1 year 9 months). I live in Texas, so the heat can be extreme here and usually destroys wiper blades. These blades still work and look fantastic. I actually don't need to replace them, but springtime is coming up and I would rather not have any potential issues. I am so satisfied with these blades that I also bought them for my Toyota Tundra and Chrysler 200. I have gotten the same results and I will always be buying these wiper blades for every car I ever own.

I replaced the wipers in all 3 of my vehicles after testing the Bosch ICONs on one of them. These are the best wipers I've ever used. They keep the windshield cleaner that plain old wipers and they are very quiet because they don't have all the metal parts making noise. High recommend these wipers. Well worth the price.

This is supposed to be the correct blade for my MINI Cooper according the the Amazon recommendation and Bosche's web site. Yet it doesn't sit right. It has practically no curvature. It looks completely weird.

I've only had it for one rainstorm, but I didn't think it did any better than my (very old) genuine MINI blades.

Plus they make a noise. I thought they were specifically weren't supposed to make a noise.

The worst part, however, is that they look boxy. They look like something from the Dollar Store. The edges of high-quality parts are typically rounded and professional-looking. These are anything but. They're not only ugly, but noticeably so. The MINI blades are expensive, but at lease they blend with the style, quality and literal curvature of the car. And the MINI ones don't make noise, even when they're years old.

Oh, and the directions were not helpful. I've replaced blades before and these were not as simple as I've done before.

Unfortunately, this wiper blade did not fit a 2014 Honda CR-V very securely. The wiper blade will slide into the metal "J" hook, however, unlike the original wiper blade that it is replacing, there is no little locking bump on the wiper blades that will fit into the notch/hole/cutout in the "J" hook that secures the wiper blade in place. You will have to rely on the friction between the metal "J" hook and the plastic as well as the plastic latch that snaps into place over the "J" hook to secure the wiper in place. It will likely work, but I just wish they would have made a version of this wiper blade that has a locking bump.

I would like to start off by saying this is a review for the product not the seller. The seller going by OEM Parts for Export is pretty bad with routinely delayed shipping (my 28OE arrived 10 days late, and the shipping label was slapped directly on the wiper box and shipped). The 18OE I ordered was from a different seller (DIY Parts), and arrived very quickly.

The wipers are amazing, at least this current set. Turns out I had the same ones on my brand new Tesla S (not sure why I didn’t have Tesla OEMs but that’s not relevant) and they chattered on each wipe. Quickly noticed they also streaked, typically when wiping back downwards. After putting up with them for a year, I decided to get new wipers and chose the Bosch Icons based on reviews. After taking the old ones off is when I realized I had Bosch ones already (I can only assume they are Icons because they look identical, but the wipers themselves don’t have any “ICON” label on it, just “Bosch”. They could have been a cheaper line if the wipers look identical in every way). In any case, the new set doesn’t chatter, doesn’t streak. Just pure quiet bliss, leaving my glass spotless with every wipe. I will update the post if I find out the quality has deteriorated.

On a side note, both the 18OE and 28OE boxes said “ClearMax 365” on it. One box had trademark date of 2016 and the other had date 2014, so how long these have been sitting out may be hit or miss. the 18OE came with additional pieces to fit various handles, but the 28OE did not (I didn’t need any regardless).

Since buying few weeks ago, price has also went up. May be better off buying elsewhere unless it comes back down to mid- or low-20s.

Lastly, the 28OE said it doesn’t fit my 2018 Tesla Model S. Every other site says it does. Amazon site suggests 28AOE would be the right fit. I can say with certainty that the 28OE does in fact fit my car. There is a difference between the two (OE is symmetric alignment, AOE is asymmetric). The ones that came with my car purchase are symmetrical so I would stick with the 28OE.

The 24A version of this wiper is a good fit to replace the driver's side (longer) wiper on my 2017 Mazda 3. After 1-2 months use in a variety of winter precip, I'm pleased with its performance-- it's clean, streak-free, and no louder than the original.

Installation is very easy, a minute or less if you're dexterous with your hands, 5-10 mins if you want to youtube it first. The price is less than a blade-only replacement from the dealer, and saves me a drive to the local auto parts store, so it's a win-win.

The only unusual thing to be aware of is this is a "hybrid" design-- the old wiper has a (metal) casing all along the top of the blade, this one has a casing only at the center (and ends) of the otherwise unencumbered blade. It's a little different aesthetically, but I don't really notice unless looking for it. I did save the old wiper "just in case" I need that casing in the future.

I'll update if the blade fails earlier than expected-- I was able to wait a solid 18 months to replace the factory-original OEM part, we'll see how long this one lasts. (or if it struggles once hot weather arrives)

UPDATED May 2019: I also tried the 18B wiper for the passenger-front on the Mazda, and it's also a good fit, good contact with the windshield, smooth cleaning. The 24A is still holding up well after 3 months.

For now, Recommended.

My opinion has changed completely on these blades, see edit below.

Bosch Icons are great, but over time they will dry out like any other rubber. When I got mine it worked for a time then started skipping early. I called Bosch and they were very nice and replaced it for me. They mentioned that Amazon sometimes sells old stock which has dried out. I got a second set because I was so happy, but got it at Advance Auto and they were much newer and performed better.

These are outstanding wipers, just don't get discouraged if they seem to not work as expected when you first get them. Call Bosch and let them prove themselves.

After replacing my 26A twice, I had another blade lift from the windshield, driver side, at the bracket. This blade was one month old and already 80% shot. I called Bosch, the same guy answered as the other times and was very nice. Since it was a third replacement, he directed me to the warranty dept. The lady who called me, Theresa, was rude and didn't want to hear it. These blades go bad, it is a problem, they send out defective blades without knowing when they are built. They do not date code the packages, for some reason beyond me because it is clearly a huge issue. I had Theresa have her supervisor call me and he was nice, but said he could not replace it after two replacements. Theresa told me I should try another brand and that is what I will do. Meanwhile, the more commonly used 20B on the passenger side has been working great for 8 months. The marketing and high PRICE of these blades make you think they are the best in the business. Maybe they are, but lasting less than 2 months and having customer service send defective replacements is deplorable.

EDIT:

Did not fit my Audi A6 as stated. I contacted Bosch and they told me they changed the design but continued to use the existing part number. They promised me replacements 5 weeks ago. Contacted them again but cannot get through to their warranty department and their mailbox is full so you can't leave a message.

UPDATE: Two and one half months after I called Bosch and complained I received no-cost replacements. The revised design uses the same part number (which is a no-no in my engineering world) and has "ClearMax 365" on the packaging. Bosch's website says "Only use ICON Clearmax 365" for my Audi. I haven't tried the new ones yet but the design is clearly different. Upgrading from one star to two stars as Bosch is clearly to blame for the confusion.

At one point in the winter I went out to shovel my car out of one of the few storms we had only to find not one but both of my wiper blades had had the rubber torn off of the rest of the assembly, presumably from use. (They were pretty old) Since I was replacing the wipers, I was determined to find the best wipers I could for the car, and given the car spends most of its time in either Rochester, NY and Maine, that meant tough wiper blades able to withstand winter weather. Upon doing research online, I ended up narrowing it down to two different wiper blades. The Bosch ICON series, and the RainX Latitude series. Both seemed to be nearly on par with each other, though supposedly RainX has the edge (heheh... edge...) on functionality, doing a better job at squeegeeing off a windshield, but Bosch supposedly had the edge on longevity, being better able to handle tough conditions. Both are supposed to be great at both of those things in general, and ultimately I sprang for the slightly more durable Bosch blades.
Since the car I currently drive is a 2000 Honda CR-V, I purchased the appropriate sizes, which in my case were
