Wiper blades Bosch or OEM Volvo
Bosch Icons. Check out the Project Farm video as he tested most big brands, and these won out over PIAAs.
My Bosch are probably about 4 years old. Have not started to streak.
Bosch Icon. Going on 5 yrs and just starting to streak a little. Truck outside 24/7 hot sun but only a few weeks of cold to a few days of freezing (South Texas).
Best I have used.
I grudged paying for Bosch wiper blades through my MOT repairs until I actually used them. Won't buy anything else now.
Bosch Aerotwins with Rain X fluid. I am usually sceptical about such expensive alternatives to pretty much anything from Tesco, but with a new set of blades it's brilliant stuff.
Bosch have been generally good for me, I managed 4 years on one set of front wipers on my panda and they were still good when I sold it
A simple high quality wipe blade (Bosch Icons) lasted me 4 years with great visibility in rain. No spray needed or residue left on windshield.
I used them on our two Volts. The are the same type of blade, just different lengths and they worked great and still look OEM without some big goofy adapter.
Right now I am using the Bosch OE replacement wipers. I used to use them a long time ago, and they were always great. That said, the only x-factor here is that I used the RainX winter washer fluid.
I used to use Icons and they were garbage. I switched to a silicone blade rain x and they are great.
