I just installed new brake pads and rotors all around, oil and filter change, new bosch icon wiper blades, and new oem rubber floor mats. The car runs and drives great and everything works as it should including the sunroof, heated and power leather seats, satellite radio, windows and mirrors, etc.
Bosch Icons. Hands down the best
The blades at the dealer are the same price as the bosch (about $18 each) and actually fit, I think they are a great blade current set has been on the car for more than a year and still wipes like new.
I have had both, I think the Rain-X are a bit better, though the Bosch aren't bad. the Bosch seemed to have a bit too much stiffness, didn't clear the center of the path as well.
I like my Valeo Gen2 wipers. They're about $20 a pair, and they've lasted over a year with no streaking at all, and they're super quiet.
I've used Bosch Icons for 2 years and they never fell apart.
I personally only use Valeo blades. They've always worked out well. I typically get 12-15 months out of them before they need to be replaced.
Bosch, I have been told are awesome, so I might use those next myself.
I get nearly 2 years out of Bosch blades. After the second winter they're ready to be replaced. I replace them in April so I get 24 months out of them instead of the 16 I would get if I replace them in December.
Bosch wiper blades are terrible
