Guys, if you read my original post: I believe that Rick can get the Bosch Icon in April/May. As I said, full release for all the dealers will likely be in June or July. So those that would like to wait, I've asked Rick to try to do special pricing on them as well. No firm price on the Icons yet however.

Though I don't need the blades right now (I have Michelin winter blades on. I like the rubber cover, and even though the Valeo/Icon would work well for winter, I don't like the idea of a frozen windshield and ice ripping up my premium blades ), I'll probably still get the Valeos for myself. Valeo has been doing this type of blade for longer than anyone else, and I normally tend to go with a proven design.

And yes, for the rear window, you want the Icon with less curve.

 

Thanks Gord....for your help with this;
I think I'll wait for Icons in the spring.

 

Yes Gord, I think I will wait as well. No urgency for them and I like the sleek mount.

 

Having owned both Valeo and Bosch on the G for some time now, I would personally go with the Bosch. The problems I mentioned earlier, that I was having with the Valeos, have not returned since I installed the Bosch.

I'd also like to address your concern:

These wipers present their greatest advantage over traditional blades during the cold time of the year. I'm sure that either the Valeo or the Bosch will stand up to winter conditions just fine. Once you see how great they function in the winter, you won't even consider standard blades again.

 

yeah - i used the older design bosch on my audi's and really liked them. i'm going to go with bosch as well - i don't mind waiting.

 

I'm in no rush either. Maybe I'll wait for the Bosch too.

 

Rick just e-mailed me today. He wanted me to let you all know that the blades just came in.

 

which ones Gord?

 

I believe it's just the Valeos. The Icons are still not available as previously indicated.

 

I just sent payment for my set. Going to try these out and buy a pair of Bosch from the US. I'm going to get my brother to bring up a pair so I can compare.

Where's the best online place to buy Bosch Icons in the US?

 

I think someone mentioned that AutoZone had them, but I'm not sure about the price nor shipping to Canada.

 

Autozone has them, but it's location dependant.
None where I was in SoCal carried them.

 

Thanks, just checked Autozone, they have them in Atlanta where my brother is.

 

you can even buy bosch icons from amazon.com
