Bosch Icons are the only ones I've found that fit the flat windshield
I've had several expensive wipers not contact in the center of the wiper. They are usually too curved
I was running bosch clear advantage. Good blade lasted over a year.
The OEM wipers were never very good, but the bosch are noticeably better.
Have done the ABS sensors for $14 myself. Brembo rotors and Akebono pads front and back $$245, flush brake lines for $40 and Bosch Icons $23, OEM sparks $20 and the long pliers for the spark plug job $18 (jobs were not at the same time and that is a factor if all was needed immediately).
I have these on my car. By far the superior wiper blade on the market, from my experience. Tried silicone blades and was disappointed (noise, streaks). I do remember the connector you need to use was tight, but it did work. These blades are fantastic, but only last 8 months. I think I can live with that.
Aerotwin wipers for the GLB 35 perform better than the OEM wipers. They work just as well and the connector looks nicer. I like them better than the OEMs due to better performance.
Changed to Bosch and it’s night and day.
I just can’t believe how bad they are in comparison to the Bosch blades I swapped them for.
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.
I had the same issue back in the day with my wife's 2012 Passat. They were just too big exactly like the picture shows. After that mess, I just started buying wipers from the dealer.
