I put a set of Bosch Icon blades on a month or so ago. I think they were 26/18. I bought whatever the parts store catalog called out for size. I may be incorrect. The Icons have been working much better than the factory wipers. No streaks or lines.
When I bought my car, it had ****ty wipers so I replaced them with relatively expensive Bosch wipers but I was always disappointed with the quality. Then I replaced those with the genuine VW wipers from the dealer that scotts13 mentioned and it's insane how much better they perform. They were cheaper, too.
I went to Oreilly's today and found a set of the Bosch OE style wipers and they fit great. Roughly $25 each. However I think most stores only keep a couple in stock and they're usually in the back, the dude I got them from had to search for them in the back. I've had good luck with Icon's in the past as well, they wipe great and last a long time.
I bought these recently and they clipped in without any problems. They seem to work pretty well, too.
Bosch ICON You have to bite the bullet and spend $50 at autozone for the BOSCH Icons for your year and make. I just bought a pair for my wifes 11' Jetta SEL 2.5. They are also the ones on my 15' Jetta S. They come with a variety of adapters so they will definitely fit whatever style you have.
Go to the closest Autozone and ask them what size wiper blades u need, just length, then find the Bosch icon blades that have the right length with the letters "oe" after it.
You can get the OEM ones from VW. Bosch also sells OE style clip in wipers for the Jetta.
Picked up some Bosch Icons. Loved them on my truck, and had them on my GTI for 6 months (then traded in). Never had any issues with them. Best ive ever used.
This question seems to come up every few weeks - grab these Anco wipers. Fairly cheap, and do a great job for a year or so. Expect some streaking after a year, but definitely better than the OEM Bosch wipers
They came out to $25 each at the dealership. I'm not impressed with them either. They are much stiffer than the Bosch Icons are. I have Icons on the BMW & they are still more supple after almost a year compared to the new VW blades.
