First impressions: Blades are great. Very easy to install. Nice clean,simple look, and they are very effective.

Only issue I am having is on the passenger side. The blade seems to not be making contact on the lower portion of the windshield (just about the cowl). There is about 2 inches of glasses that is not being contacted.

Any easy way to remedy this? I got 421A for both blades (per Bosch and folks on here). Can I just bend the blade to try and encourage contact there?

No ones had this happen?

I used most offerings out there with the same results. The Icons are great blades, but I *hate* when there are streaks left on the glass because the blade doesn't contact all of the window.

Honestly, the euro wiper arm conversion is the only way to get a blade that works like it should. The arms sit lower on the windshield, the blades themselves aren't as chunky, and they WORK. It's kind of expensive to get the arms (around $100 I think), but it's well worth it if you live anywhere that sees rain often. The winter performance is about as good as any blade out there, if not better.

Bosch icons are terrible. I have them on mycar 2nd set.

I tried the icons. Initial pass was good but the return pass would always bring water back into my field of vision because the the solid blade wouldn't allow the wind speed to clear the water.

Then I tried the rain-x version. It was better, but at freeway speed it would lift on the return stroke again leaving water in my field of vision.

The excel+ don't lift and allow the wind to pass though to clear the water.

But they don't look as cool

I ended up rolling with the latitudes, which haven't disappointed yet

i found that just replacing the blades with el cheapo ones each season works best.
