My Bosch Icons are great but I think the best wipers I have used in recent years (on a diff car) were Rain-x Silicone Endura. I think the silicone in the rubber formula did increase longevity.
Bosch icons. Mine still work great after 2 years. They recently started streaking a bit but some cleaning fixed that.
Cheap blades costs half of a good one, and they last 3 months tops, this year, back in may, I invested a little more money and got Bosch blades, its been two months and they are still like new, if they last 6 months in that worse scenario, I'll be happy
I have the Bosch Envision. They work great.
Bosch ICON. The remove water great and last a long time. I've used them on previous vehicles too.
I've also got a 2017 VW, and like others have said, Bosch Icon OE have been great for me. They seem to last a super long time, like 3+ years in my case, and that's through a lot of Minnesota ice and snow, not just rain.
I got 5 years out of the stock Bosch Aerotwin on my GTI. Granted I try not to drive it in snow/ice (old truck for that) and garaged so not much freeze-thaw but still impressed the rubber didn’t degrade.
I bought the Bosch 3397014621 set and they fit! I guess I just had bad luck with the two other sets.
I had the same issue as you describe. The damn streak was right at eye level making it very difficult to drive at night in the rain. I put the wipers on service mode and looked at how they fit onto the windscreen. I noticed the wipers do not contact the windscreen where the streaks appear. The wipers have a natural curve to them. The curve was too severe and was lifting in the middle. So i took the wiper off and applied some pressure to straighten out the wiper blade by hand. Basically, bend the wiper up and hold it straight. Now the streaks have disappeared from my eyesight! but have moved to the lower part of the screen.
Overpriced and lasted less than 1 year. Replaced with Michelin wipers from Costco for $6.00 and they’re better then these Bosch wipers
