Look What I Got Today!
Got some Bosch Icons from Amazon to replace some worthless Valeo's from Tirerack.
I got the Valeos BOGO from Tirerack and they worked well, you know except for the fact that the driver side wiper never had any pressure at the center point where it actually hooked into the arm. And thus it left a nice unwiped area on the downstroke on every swipe smack dab in the center of my visual field out of the windshield.
Most annoying thing ever. Replaced them with the Bosch's, same design, just better made. Best wipers I've ever had, no streaking, perfect windshield every wipe.

Yes I use my wipers. Rain-X lasts about as long as a virgin in bed, stopped using it a long time ago. I seal my windows with the same wax I use on my paint. At highway speeds I don't have to use it much, but when you get winter spray or something that doesn't bead off...that's what wipers are for.
Bosch Icons, while OK initially, are getting streaky after a year for me. The best set I've owned is PIAA super sporza silicones which, although expensive, is way more durable and has the added benefit of coating the surface, just like rain-x. Now that PIAA finally has the frameless design available, that'll probably be my next set in a few months.
