The OEM wipers were never very good, but the bosch are noticeably better.
Have done the ABS sensors for $14 myself. Brembo rotors and Akebono pads front and back $$245, flush brake lines for $40 and Bosch Icons $23, OEM sparks $20 and the long pliers for the spark plug job $18 (jobs were not at the same time and that is a factor if all was needed immediately).
I have these on my car. By far the superior wiper blade on the market, from my experience. Tried silicone blades and was disappointed (noise, streaks). I do remember the connector you need to use was tight, but it did work. These blades are fantastic, but only last 8 months. I think I can live with that.
Aerotwin wipers for the GLB 35 perform better than the OEM wipers. They work just as well and the connector looks nicer. I like them better than the OEMs due to better performance.
Changed to Bosch and it’s night and day.
I just can’t believe how bad they are in comparison to the Bosch blades I swapped them for.
Bosch Icons are next best.
Wiper tech are pretty crappy in my experience.
Buy Bosch wiper blades , they are definitely superior.
I dicking hate trying to get the right wiper blades, my solution is to get Windscreen O'Brien to supply and fit them. They last so much longer than cheap ones so it works out cheaper to buy Bosch quality.
My Bosch Icon blades were great for about 2-3 months. After that they started to smear and make a lot of noise instead of sliding smoothly like they used to. Keep in mind this was during the winter season.
THIS!!!! I just tried some rainx, trico, and bosch icon. ALL of them showed to fit in the computer at fleet farm. The respective websites also confirm fitment. The rainx were not even close. Like 1/8in too wide. The trico just wouldn't fit as well. The icons would start to go in, but would only slide half way. The icons were 21oe and 26oe. The vw atlas wiper arm has two tabs that interfere with the bosch clip. I ground down the width of the icons clip and got them to slide in, but they won't snap in place. I zip tied them to keep them on. TOTALLY unacceptable for 60$ in wipers. I had to use them because I was on a road trip. I'm going to write bosch and see what they say.
