Default Anyone using Bosch Icon wiper blades ?

Are they any good? Better than the factory OE equipment.

Thanks for the help.

Default I just installed OEM inserts on my 02 S6. $6 apiece, 3 pieces.

Dealer/parts said the 02 S6 only had the left and right w/s wiper assemblies but had the inserts for the rear wiper (cut to length). I examined the left and right wiper assemblies and the insert...it can be done.

They are good blades, but they are pricey. No better than OEM IMHO.

Default Yes, primarily for winter use...good above freezing

better than OEM in the snow/winter crap, but not as good as traditional winter blades.

I like 'em. Be careful when changing blades - I let wiper arm fall w/o blade = cracked windshield
