Winter a-comin...

Need new blades and I heard that there are two different OEM arms; one that has a continuous arc and the regular that has several anchor points (maybe three?). I can't find the continuous part #; anyone use these or know the part #?

As far as aftermarket, are the Bosch Icons still 'highly regarded?' Better than OEM?

Bosch Icons continue to deliver the best/longest lasting performance on most of my cars.

Just turfed my Bosch and went back to OEM. Couldn't be happier!

I know the Bosch are highly regarded, and I've used them a lot in the past, but I only get one season out of them here in the pacific northwest. After that, they streak the glass. Not sure if another is better, but I'm ready to try something else.

I bought some Icon knock-offs on eBay. We'll see how they work compared to OEM. For $15, it is worth the experiment as I will know how/if they work before I head to Sierra's (where failure would be a big problem).

I've never been real impressed with any aftermarket wipers. I just buy the replacement blades (just the rubber inserts, not the entire blade assembly) from the local dealership anymore.

This is the best and cheapest option in my opinion. So inexpensive to have new wipers. Even if you changed it 4 times/year it would still be less than some aftermarket wiper.
