Product Description:
Bosch 420B ICON Wiper Blade - 20"
Bosch bracketless wiper blades are designed without brackets or hinges, offering improved design and performance over conventional wiper blades. The award-winning design of Bosch ICON distributes more uniform pressure along the entire length of the blade for ultimate all-season performance that lasts up to 20% longer than other premium wiper blades. The integrated wind spoiler design increases the down force on the wiper blade to prevent lift-off at highway speeds. The bracketless design and enclosed tension springs provide superior wiping performance in all weather conditions. Bosch ICON blades are the best you can buy!

Worst Wipers EVER (2010-05-15) Rating: 1/5
Bought these because I've always had good luck with Bosch wipers. These are simply horrible. They streak badly and sometimes will have huge swaths it won't wipe properly. I'd suggest going with Bosch's supposedly lower quality Micro Edge blades. They work much better than these Icons.
Used my pair for over a year! (2010-03-22) Rating: 5/5
I bought these because a friend of mine swore by them. Yes they are expensive, but they looked cool, so I gave them a shot. To my surprise, from day 1, it cleaned my windshield better than any other wiper has and noticeably quieter then other wipers. And to make things better, I didn't replace them for OVER a year and a half! They just recently started to crack, so I ordered a new pair on amazon. Im a ICON customer for live (or at least until they make a lifetime blade)
They seem to work, so far (2010-03-05) Rating: 5/5
These are the smoothest running wipers I've ever had. Let's see how long these will last compared to my last bracketed Bosch wipers, which lasted about 5 years.
I am a bit concerned, however, about the reviews below were one claims they don't last more than a few months, and the other says they are affected by wind.

These are definetly not worth the money. Buy a regular pair of wipers that cost half the price. THey worked great for the first two weeks then they started leaving streaks.

I bought the Bosch ICON as a replacement blade for our 2005 Avalon. I called and asked specifically about our car's model number. They said to purchase the 420B and they would include a special clip that anchor it to the wiper arm. The drivers side is OK but the passenger blade "special clip" flew off on the freeway not 15 mins after install. I called back and explained how this clip flew off. The fellow starts telling me that they dont have a special clip and they do not have a replacement blade for the Avalon. I told him that they had sent me the special clips with the 420B blades and he started to tell me that I must have bought them soewhere else because Bosch does not have any clips like I described.
So I went to the auto parts store and bought a comparable Trico blade to replace my BRAND NEW Bosch blade. Even thought the Bosch blade works well, the Trico works just as good. I will not purchase Bosch products from this date forward. They talk out of both sides of thier mouths and do not support their product after the sale..
