Just picked up a pair of the new Bosch ICON wipers from Advance Auto Parts (Virginia) and they snapped right on. Very much like the Valeo Ultimate wipers (which they replaced) but only cost $21. No frames and wiper length rubber spoiler built in. Should be a good OE replacement.

Thanks for the pointer, I was looking at those to see if they would work

I always appreciate such posts with useful general information. Thanks.

or other info that can be used to confirm that the auto parts store has it in stock? Might save a lot of us a wasted trip.
Thanks!

The 22 in the part number is the length. There are also 422B's that are called out for the passenger side in some applications. I didn't use them and couldn't figure out the difference. The allroad normally calls for a 21 inch wiper on the passenger side but I went with a 22 and there was no interference and you get a little more wipe area. The only issue with the passenger side 22 is that the far end of the wiper doesn't contact the widshield when stowed. I also had this issue with the 21" Valeos I had before so it isn't a big deal to me. Below is the link to the Bosch website though the parts finder does not list these for the allroad.<ul><li><a href="http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/WiperBlades/ICON/">http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/WiperBlades/ICON/</a</li></ul>
