Bosch Icons for the win. Night and day over the OEM. They fit perfectly, too!
Bosch is the only way to go. It's what I get for my 08 Rabbit. ????
I bought some Bosch Icon blades at Walmart.
I picked some up based on that and can also confirm the install was easy and fits with the wiper nozzles
I like the Bosch icons they're a little spendy but last long and work well.
Bosch Icon for the win
Never had any streaking, catching, or quality issues with the Michelin blades.
I had the same issue as you describe. The damn streak was right at eye level making it very difficult to drive at night in the rain. I put the wipers on service mode and looked at how they fit onto the windscreen. I noticed the wipers do not contact the windscreen where the streaks appear. The wipers have a natural curve to them. The curve was too severe and was lifting in the middle. So i took the wiper off and applied some pressure to straighten out the wiper blade by hand. Basically, bend the wiper up and hold it straight. Now the streaks have disappeared from my eyesight! but have moved to the lower part of the screen.
I would personally recommend you go with the Trico Maxx wiper blades. They make a much better contact and do not leave streaks. I’ve tried Bosch and other brands that are supposed to be top tier, and every single one will start leaving streaks after just a few weeks.
just changed out the wiper blades on my 2004 Dodge Stratus SE and was surprised to see the new Michelin Optimum + blades missing a spot about the size of a fist in the middle of the passenger blade towards the end of its arc. I adjusted the blades, repositioned them, took them on and off, but nothing. I wound up putting on my old pair of blades, some Rain-X not sure what model, and even with some streaks no missed spots.
