Bosch Icon Wiper Blades

These blades are like $20 a piece at Auto Zone... they claim to be frameless and last much longer... has anyone had any experience with these yet?

I got one and they worked pretty good. they also claimed it has some kind of aero dynamic in them so it wont break if u drive high speed.

will post pics asap

I've had them on my car for several months now. My buddy bought the Valeo's for his so I figured I'd try these. They are very queit and I have yet to see them skip around on the windshield for being too dry. I liked them so much I put them on my wifes Escape and will be putting them on my daily driver soon as it needs wipers.

Now I just need to find a 17" blade for the rear on the EVO.

I've had em on mine for about 6 months - love em, no problems so far. Work excellent at high speeds and look smoother then the exposed frame OEM ones.

I have PIAA blades they are super nice. I barley even have to use them because they put a coating on the windshield that makes the water bead. But when I do use them they are super quiet and work really really well.

24 driver front , 18 pass front, 17 rear

I just bought these a few weeks ago. I drve a lot in the rain and was having a hard time seeing, These make like it is not even raining! they work great and stick to the window with no lifting even over 100+ I put them on the GFs 4runner because they where so nice. The framless style looks better as well and actually ends up being more solid, no skiping across the windshield! I couldn't be happier

Valeo has a knock off that is "buy one get one free" at www.tirerack.com
I have the Bosch Icon on the Legacy, and the Valeo on the Evo... can't tell the difference in performance.
