BOSCH 20B ICON Premium Beam Wiper Blade; 20" - Single

Wiper blades might be the most neglected item of regular car maintenance. Their failure is usually realized when you need them the most and they're streaking and blurring your vision in a downpour or snow storm. Without sounding dramatic, if your view of the road isn't visible your chances of an accident are dramatically increased. So like quality tires, I'm willing to pay extra for quality, functionality and durability. These Icons are designed to have a minimal appearance but to apply even downward pressure throughout their length without gaps or skips even after many months of use. I live in a state that has constant sun almost every day throughout the year, but in the summer sitting in the hot sun outside, the entire car, including the wipers can bake in 100 degree heat while absorbing UVF rays that attack their integrity and tries to harden the blades. Whatever the rubber compound is in Icons is, they stay flexible and pliable longer. These are the only wipers I use on my car with the exception of PIAA's made of silicon, but the size I need are often unavailable. Bosch is a name recognized for high standards of quality and I also own many of their power tools which share that consistent high standard. So I trust their products and can wholeheartedly recommend their wipers which I buy on Amazon for their consistently superior price and not needing to trek out to the auto supply store. Installation of the Icons is also extremely easy, though admittedly, the very first pair was somewhat baffling, though the instructions are clear. The hub on the back center first needs to be lifted up on it's hinge. One end of that hub has tiny flanges on each side. You pinch those sides together with your thumb and forefinger and lift up to reveal the part that clips into the "hook" end of your wiper arm. It fits in with a click, and then you fold down that hinged cover you lifted up with a snap. Total time, about two minutes for each side, at least after you get the hang of it with your first installation. Arguably the best wipers you can buy.

wiper blades aren't so cheap as they used to be, not even close. i have used countless types of wiper blades on different vehicles over the years. the one thing i have had the most problems with no matter the maker came down to contact patches. many would leave some spots on the window bare while skipping over, missing other spots. those are the reasons why this time i did a little research first. i have watched 'project farm' comparisons on youtube for some time. from batteries to wiper blades i've never had a bad experience following his lead. of all the blades tested by him these came out on top. so i went and gave them a try and am glad i did. the blades do not come with any spare pieces, connectors, etc. you get get the blades and that's it. there are two means to connect the blades. either the older loop style or snap in place. be aware on the sides of each blade where they connect? you'll see a couple raised lines on the plastic top. press and lift up there. then slide the metal arm inside and finally press that 'trap door' shut. we've had just a couple snow storms since these were put on. so a combination of snow, slush and road splashback and they work flawlessly under all those conditions. no rain yet due to the time of year but based on results so far i don't doubt they'll do well with that too. with these i have no missed spots. there is absolutely no streaking plus bonus they are noticeably quieter than the previous blades were in operation. **TIP every so often take a rag, paper towel, etc. a bit of soapy water or degreaser and run it down and along the rubber portion, get both sides, so as to clean off built up grime. that buildup leads to streaking, noise and degraded performance. based on my experience with other wipers and these, i would absolutely recommend these to anyone wanting good blades and vision for their vehicle.

I started using this newer style of wiper blade that does not have the conventional metal frame about a year and a half ago. I purchased the AutoTex "PINK" - Black Bracketless Premium Wiper Blade - 20", Pack of 1 in August 2010 and they have lasted up until now. They actually still work quite well but I wanted to try these new Bosch Icon wipers and so it was time to remove the old ones. The Bosch Icon wipers are very similar to the AutoTex Pink. Both are of the frameless design whereby there is no conventional plastic or metal housing holding the blade. The blade is frameless which makes it superior in ice and show since there isn't much for ice and snow to get clogged in or on. Installing the wiper blade was quite easy as my video demonstrates. Choosing the right blade is probably the hardest part of the entire process and that's not saying much because that process was a piece of cake. All you have to do is select the Year, Make and Model of your car and the suggested blades for your car are displayed for you right on the Amazon product page. You do pay a premium price for these blades, but that is because they are of high quality and offer great performance. These typically will last a lot longer than conventional blades will. My previous AutoTex Pink blades worked well for a hear and a half and actually still work pertty well, but I just decided to take them off and buy these new Bosch Icon blades.

This was half of one set of Bosch ICON blades I purchased for my 2015 Sonata. I've been replacing wiper blades on cars since the late '60s, and these are by far the best quality, longest lasting blades I've ever used. My current set has been on since 2018 and are still working fine. I plan to install this new set during the summer of 2020. These blades retain their performance for years, not months, and the attachment system is better than other manufacturers by far - very secure and solid. These ICON blades are pricy (especially at retail), but you get your money's worth and then some.

worth the money, fit my Vinfast VF8. Great product

Excelente producto de calidad Bosch, fácil de instalar sin necesidad de algún conector adicional. Funcionan bien y dejan limpio el parabrisas. Estoy a la expectativa de la duración de las plumas, he visto algunas reseñas que han indicado un periodo de vida de un año, lo cual se me hace muy poco para la calidad y costo, así que espero que duren más. Sugerencia. Revisa la compatibilidad de producto con tu auto, esto con la finalidad de que estes seguro de la medida del modelo a elegir.

Well engineered rubber and plastic blade and is easy to install unlike many of the others. I get at least a year of use before wiping performance or drying of the blade occurs. Good in winter although there is not a boot to cover the whole blade.

Having been in the automotive industry since 1989. These seem to be the best wiper blades I have ever used!

Simplemente geniales mejor que los de agencia para Mazda 3 generación 3
