Tried others...Bosch Icons seem the best so far. Smooth operation and clean lines. We'll see how they perform over time. So far, so good.

 

Love them. The only blades I've trusted for the past 8 or so years on both our cars. They seem to last 3-4 years easily (garage parked) and are a decent price when bought online from rockauto.com.

 

My experience with them was the total opposite. It lasted maybe a year or so and started streaking badly. Costco Goodyear was even worst... I got suckered in because they were cheap. Now I understand why... I'm sticking with Valeo.

 

ICONS

I've had PIAA, Valeo & ICONS...ICONS win!
This experience of course wasn't based on my current G37xS, but from my previous FX's.

 

Have had em on my G for 2 years now. No problems so far. Don't expect to have any either.

 

Good brand. My first aftermarket pair after the OEM blades died. No streak lines and I love the low profile look of the Bosch from the driver's seat. I know people have complained of how the large Rain-x connectors look - this is a good alternate.

 

Been on my G for a year now and still going strong. Only blades I use

 

I worked in a parts store for 5 years

Most wipers last 1-2 years. Anymore than that and the blades are worn out.

Brand doesnt matter and price doesnt matter, they are sitting out side getting roasted by the sun.

I have the rain x $25 wipers on my car now. To me the work the same as the $10 per wiper blade. Its all marketing.
Also, I live in Texas so they get used 4 times a year.

 

^ that's likely true, unless the car is garaged most of the time, thus limiting exposure to the elements. that's my case, and i tend to get 3-4 years per set. i've always stuck to icons since they work very well and look good doing it - very sleek design.

 

sounds like its sitting in the garage way to long

 

I prefer the Trico Force beam blade. Long lasting, clean wipe, no noise...approved for speeds over 135MPH. (plus they look nice)

 

ha ha, yeah maybe. garaged at home and at work, and i only drive ~5-6k miles a year. i do find time to have some fun, but the wife's SUV seems to get a lot of the weekend duty and (regrettably) a lot of road trips since it can carry so much gear. even still, her icons last 3-4 years as well.

 

I had icons, meh. I have had RainX latitudes on my G and TL before that for years, best blades I've come across.

Then again, I live in Cali.
