By Phong Vinh Vuong
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RBPS87BYQCIHW BEST WIPERS I HAVE EVER USED! Here is a video of them in action with an Aquapel treated windshield
They might seem loud in the video, but they really are not.

These are excellent wipers Mar 21, 2006
By M. GUERNSEY
"Old Soldier"
I put a set of 19" Bosch Icon wipers on a 2000 Toyota Tundra during the past week and they have wiped rain, sleet and heavy snow during the recent Midwest winter storm. Based on a week's observation, I have to say these are the best windshield wipers I have ever used in nearly 30 years of bad weather driving. There is virtually no chatter or streaking. Time and summer bugs will tell if they hold up and the initial cost is higher than most other wipers but the quality is clearly there. You do have to purchase "A" series for the drivers side and "B" for the passenger due to shape and size but they are usually in sets. I paid $37.00 at a local parts store and installed them myself but you can shop around the net or your local area and perhaps find them cheaper. These are the future of windshield wipers.

 Not so Iconic May 12, 2008
By MDK210
I put these on my 05 F-150 a few months ago and about a week there after I drove 3 days from Texas to Virginia and one of those days I experienced an insane amount of rain non-stop for 12hrs. My driver side blade (420a) are ok in the lower and middle portions of the blade but streak very much at the top. The passenger side (420b) simply jusy streaks. I'm not sure what's so great about these wiper blades besides to locking mechanism but I think my OEM ones were honestly better. It sucks becuase this product got such good reviews and it's hard to believe out of all the good ones I'm the guy giving it a low rating. I will probably try the Rain-X ones next and just save these for a backup.

Sexiest Wipers Ever! Driver's Side Dec 24, 2007
By Stephen Davis
"Monsignor"
Yes I said SEXIEST ever....
It was time again to put new wipers on my 2002 Ford F-250. IN my relentless search for all things cool I happened upon these Bosch wiper blades here on Amazon.com. After reading some of the reviews I decided to take the plunge and order up a set (after all you need a matched set - right?). Again these wipers were listed on Amazon PRIME so after a dash of technical wizardry the wipers appeared at my office from the friendly UPS man.
I eagerly tore into the box to discover the wipers there, nicely packaged and looking pretty and just yearning to be mounted on my truck.
When I got home that evening I opened-up my garage and hauled out my ladder to make the wiper swap (seeing as how my truck is VERY lifted I have to use a ladder for 'ordinary' maintenance items such as wipers, oil changes, etc.). The instructions on changing out the wipers are easy to follow and straight forward. Actually the most difficult part of this whole operation was getting the OLD wipers off of my truck.
Once the old wipers were off the new ones mount up with ease. All you need to do is to squeeze the Bosch wipers at the hatch markings on the side. This opens up the catch allowing your wiper arms to thread through the opening and mate up with the catch on the blade. If seated properly (there is only one way to put them on) the top piece will easily close over the arm locking the arm and wipers into place. In a stiff cross-breeze with gloves on the mounting of the new blades took all of 45 seconds at the most.
Once mounted I decided to "test drive" the wipers. I drove up and down a road close to our house checking for uplift or to see if they chattered or moved around while they were in operation and while they were in motion. The Bosch wipers made fast work cleaning my windshield (water) and did not streak or lose contact with the glass surface.
Another note that is pretty cool - the wipers, when stationary proudly display the BOSCH 'logo' on the wipers - kind of black on black. Very cool and classy looking.
A final note - the wipers are very clean looking. Gone is the exoskeletal suspension system we are all used to seeing on those 'other' wipers out there. These are VERY unusual yet elegant looking.
I give these blades a very enthusiastic THUMBS UP. Give them a try - buck traditional blades!
**** UPDATE **** July 22, 2010 ****
Well the time has finally come to replace these wipers. Part of the rubber blade that is in constant contact with my windshield has started to separate from the rest of the wiper body. I will say that I am completely satisfied with the wipers and their longevity... and have just ordered another set from Amazon!! These wipers are a great value and worth the money. These last MUCH longer than the wipers you see at auto parts stores. To give you an idea - traditional wipers last me about 12-16 months.
That said these wipers will have lasted me 953 days from installation to re-installation (that's 2 years, 7 months and 10 days)! To further recap - I live N of Dallas, TX where we have extremely hot summers and cold winters (this past winter we had a BUNCH of snow) and these wipers performed flawlessly in all weather.

 Don't buy Jan 10, 2011
By Patrick Massetti
Within one week of purchasing, started getting multiple streaks along the blades. Not worth buying. Very disappointed, figured if it had the Bosch name if would be a good product. Now what do I do with these things?
