BOSCH icon wiper blades

Hey yall,

I am looking to replace my OEM wiper blades for my 2008 sedan.
I found a good deal on these BOSCH Icon blades
http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-420B-ICON-Wiper-Blade/dp/B000IYAAXU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1254436533&sr=1-4 http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-420B-ICON-Wiper-Blade/dp/B000IYAAXU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1254436533&sr=1-4
which come with a fat rebate.

However, I have never had any experience w/ these blades and wanted to know if anyone has tried these on their G. If so please share your feedback on these.. better than OEM or not? Reviews on amazon seem promising.. but I'd take the advice from you fellow G owners than the ppl on amazon anyday.

Also, if someone can confirm the application size for V36 sedans.. that'd be great!

Thanks.

Cool, I just ordered a set for the wife's MDX. Thanks for the tip.

Me, I personally lie the OEMs and have no trouble with them at all. My current set has been on the car for 16 months and there's no streaking what so ever. Not bad.

I LOVE the Bosch Icon blades. They are 1000% better than the stock OEM ones. I have them on all of my cars. Get them, you won't be disappointed.

I have them on my coupe and I like them a lot. They also look a LOT sleeker and more modern than the stock crap.
