Boch ICON wiper blades They are pretty expensive, but look cool. I was thinking about getting these for the winter because I hate my wipers freezing and regular blades are ugly as hell. Any thoughts?

 

never heard of them, but this part sounds weird:

Aerodynamic wind spoiler Creates downforce, preventing blade lift-off

Protects tension springs from snow/ice build-up

Windshield-hugging performance in even the worst winter weather

 

I've got em, best windsheild wipers ever

They get everything off the windshield, every last drop, and they're completely silent, they never skip

And they just plain look much more high tech than metal blades

 

I put a set of those on my girl's truck last month, they are quiet, smooth and work great. Only problem is on her S-10 they don't quite have enough bend in them to reach the far passenger corner, they leave a couple inch triangle. Our windshield is flatter though, so I don't think we'd have that issue because even her OEM blades did it.

 

anyone else runing 22 / 18 ? factory is 22 / 17

 

As long as they don't contact eachother or go off the windshield onto paint it shouldn't matter. I used to use 2" over stock on my 92 Cavi to get the whole windshield.

 

I use 22/18

They work much better

The windshield wipers come within .1" of eachother but never contact

 

Thanks for that info. I will have to try that.

 

My mom had a set of those come stock on her Audi... they do look pretty cool... but I have no idea how effective or long lasting they will be... or the price.

 

I have the Motomaster equivalent on both of my cars (mainly because i haven'tt seen the Boschs up here) but ya, they get everything off the windshield, and never lift!

 

Havent tried em, I'm pretty trusting to the RAIN-X winshield wipers, also work excellent. Like 8 bucks a piece at walmart

 

What's the price on those? I'm looking for some new blades for winter.

 

20 bucks each, at pepboys, I just got the 18/22 set and they work great very close but no contact,Im glad i made the purchase, took like 30 seconds to install each and they do clean off every drop. On the way out i saw the rainx blade they looks decent as well and were buy one get one I could ahve saved 20 bucks but really wanted to try these.

 

These have come on some of the Lacrosses and Grand prixs. Only problem is, they can get twisted and basically trash themselves.

 

just wait til ricers see it and all they read is the word downforce and start sticking them on their hoods

 

theyre oem factory pieces on the G6, Grand Prix and 07 Yukon's

 

Also the new Impalas Monte Carlos and Caddies are using them too. I thonk they're cool as long as they can keep contact with no springs inside then I'll probly give em a shot.
Money is no object when it comes to safly seeing whats down the road in bad weather.

 

Oh those are some sweet wiper blades. When I replace mine I think I will have to pick those up.

 

I've had them on my '05 Silverado for about nine months. They work great and are truly silent all the time. I don't think I'll ever have to replace them until I replace the truck.
