For Gen2+ use the Motorcraft OEM blades. They are designed for the windshield and have specific models for the drivers and passenger sides.
I put Bosch Icon’s on a week ago and they’ve been great in the rain.
I tried the RainX blades that others here seem to like and they left streaks on my windshield. I normally buy Bosch but wanted to give RainX a try - never again. Bosch Icon are worth the extra cost.
I use the Bosch AR728S - quietest blades I've ever owned, but the driver's side is 22 instead of 23.
Replace with Bosch Icon wipers. Problem solved.
I highly disagree! OEM wipers last me 6 months at best in Arizona heat. Also, not all Bosch wipers created equal. Bosch Icon are the only model that lasts over a year in my particular situation
I've had a set of Bosch Focus wipers on my Passat for over a year now. More pricey than the Icons even. Quite happy with them, though. Still seem like new, even though they're out in the elements 24/7/365.
Replaced with Bosch Icons, which are buttery smooth so far.
From what I can tell, OEM is no longer Bosch, but Valeo, and the dealer is usually cheaper than finding the Valeos (they run about $25-30ea. New Jettas are teh same as the current audi A4... slightly narrower than the bosch 19OE and 24OE sizes.
Just changed mine on 2019 Golf MK7.5 and used Bosch supposedly OEM. There were a bunch of adapters so I sincerely doubt OEM. Wasn't intuitive at all. Instructions were not instructive. Best I found were the Rain-X. IMO, the Bosch wear out way too quickly and are unnecessarily expensive.
