Best windshield wipers opinions.

A while back I read a few comments and recommendations of windshield wipers. I cannot seem to locate that thread so......

I recently went to Advance Auto looking for wiper replacements. The guy recommended the Bosch Icon's. Has anyone used these? I don't want anything fancy looking that stands out, but I want the best (and quietest) blade possible.

What have you guys used?

thx!

I currently have the Infiniti OEM wiper refills and they don't seem to wipe that good, esp. on the passenger side. I installed Bosch Icons on my wife's Corolla and they work great (no streaks, no noise). I'm gonna go with the Bosch Icons next time I change the wipers.

+1 for bosch icons, got them after hearing recommendations from the forum, although they are pretty pricey.. idk if they are really worth it unless they last a long time

I put the Bosche Icons on my G as well. At $30 for the pair, they are NOT cheap.

But god. These wipers work SO well it is just freaking ridiculous. I some times just spray windshield wiper fluid on my window just to watch them wipe it all away with one swipe.

I'd recommend them HIGHLY.

FYI, Advance Auto Parts has a $10 sale for any 2 Bosch Icon wipers from now until March 25. Good time to buy a new set of quality wipers for less than $30
