Default People using Bosch ICON wipers...Bosch recommends part 421A for our cars (for both sides)

I hear some of you tried longer wipers...what's the largest ones that fit, and what part number?

I'm assuming the only other options would be 422A, 423A, and 424A for the driver's side, and maybe 422A for the passenger's side?

Driver's side wiper is 22", passenger side wiper 21" on my Bosch setup (not ICON).

Default Yeah, stock Bosch wipers are 22" driver's side, 21" passenger's side.

Hopefully some ICON users can chime in...

Default I debated using the ICON 422A for the drivers side, but since they recommended

the 421A for both sides, I just went with it. When I put the "regular" Bosch 21" blade next to the ICON, the ICON was longer. However, I do think there's probably room to run the 422A on the drivers side...

How are those treating you? Better than OEM, same, worse?

Default They work pretty well. They were easier to get (auto store) but now are being phased out for

newer Bosch models.
