seeking the good windshield wiper

[SykVSyx]

^I would assume so, they look contoured, but lifting up the wiper arm will confirm this.

I need to get some new contour blades for the wife's TL.

Is there a 'Wiper Blade Review' thread, yet?

The bosch icons smear at the top of the windshield on the dirvers side on my car. I have bent the arm (7th gen people said it helped) but to no avail. I've had them for less than a month. And they are very stiff in the cold.

you don't say, because like I said...three years of use

oh at the top? I've never had that issue..

I think so Chris, doesn't this mean the Icons are contour style?

they look nice on a car too, if you look closely in my sig you can actually see the same ones

Ah, yes. Thank you Tyler, exactly what I'm talkin' bout. This style does look so much cleaner, like mine. You have Icons?

 

[almightyfargoth]

yeah mine are Icons

hmm...I feel torn, like a poorly knit sweater.

So you would recommend them, Tyler? I think I would get a shorter passenger blade though, I have the OEM spec'd lengths but nearly 2" of the outermost side of the passenger side blade is off the glass.

Chris, I would suggest the Bosch or Michelin ones.....or the Icons.

I think the ones I am running on my car were Goodyear from Costco....I would have to check on that though.

I actually do recommend them, I had to go through two other brands before sticking with these for years.

I really hate when wipers make noise after a while, but I've been through like a million rain storms with these and they seem brand new still.

Yeah I have these:

Both blades skitter a bit, and as I said 2" of the passenger side blade does not follow the curvature of the windshield. Which makes me want to try a shorter blade if I get the Bosch's. Then again Anco is lower on the totem pole.
