Bosch Icon wiper
Has anyone tried these wipers? Do these blades make that more of a difference over the OEM ones? Just curious since it is almost time for a new blade change. I don't live in an area with snow but it does rain pretty hard.
Lemme know what you are using.
thanks

youve definitely never tried these micro edge wipers then man...and jeeze i can just imagine how much the stealer is getting for each replacement "OEM" wiper whenever you replace them..id be totally surprised if its actually cheaper then these...
tranman- you really thought these blades looked any different then a standard blade? i couldnt tell the difference really at all other then the improved performance...perhaps you're thinking of a different one?

Yeah that was at Lexus of Tulsa. This is only the rubber refill and not the wiper arm. I installed them myself in about 5 minutes.
EDIT found a post for OEM Refills at Sewell Lexus, TX for $6.00 each

Can i just get inserts? do i have to buy the whole wiper? or just blades?
Can i just get bosch blades and replace them on my oem ones?

I bought the CTF (Cut To Fit) refils from Autozone. They were too big for the stock metal frame, so I just grabbed some pliers and bent the stock metal grabbers outwards. $3.25 or so after tax.

Yea, I got my refill wiper blades from Sewell for $6 each and they work great. Can't see how any other wiper could be better than what the factory refill's are doing. They remove the water like they are suppose to. I imagine if you live in the north with more intense weather, you may need a beefier blade. We pretty much just deal with rain here.
