I get rain-x wipers, but always replace them in may/june before the monsoons. Only go through one set a year though.
I've always used Bosch icons and get at least 2 years out of them @ 12k miles per year
I put on Bosch Icons at the start of the winter and they've held up decently well. Not spectacular when there's ice build up on the windshield but otherwise good
I recently replaced mine with Rain X wipers and I'm in love with them. It's been raining a lot here in California, but I can see perfectly!
Right on the package, in a star burst on mine. Unmissable. If you can't see it, it's not ClearMax, just regular, and those Icons definitely will not fit Mk 7 R.
Bosch Icons The Bosch Icons do fit the 2016 R, as I just successfully installed them. You need to find the ones that are clearly marked on the outside as "Clearmax 365" which is the newest version, and it comes with a small plastic bag inside containing two optional adapters, one being the #4 that we need for the R. You snap off the adapter that is shipped from the factory installed on the blade, and replace it with the #4 adapter which allows it to fit perfectly on the R. The install instructions that come with the blade leave a lot to be desired, so just make sure you install the new adapter with the arrow pointing in the same direction as the one on the blade.
Bosch Icons At least near me in Central Ohio, O'Reillys Auto Parts has plenty of the ClearMax 365 version of the Bosch Icons that we need, whereas I struck out at AutoZone/CarQuest.
Went Bosch Icon OE, took 5 min. Just make sure if you go Bosch buy the OE and get the new version. New version has multiple mounting options included in a plastic bag with the wiper. Hope this helps people that dont want OEM...
Just went through the whole wiper blade replacement hassle last month. My original rear wiper blade was dragging badly. Just replaced it with this: Bosch A 282 H 280mm/11" rear wiper blade Works great, snaps right in with no needed additional clips or mods. Works great so far - no more dragging.
--on Bosh Icon. Worst blades I ever had. Great for less than a month, then horrible. Cleaning them did no good.
