In case you're not familiar with them, Bosch is the company that actually makes the OEM wiper blades for many high end cars (like BMW, for one). In fact, you'd probably be surprised by how much inside your car is made by Bosch. So, you're not buying from a company that is just marketing cheap parts made in China and selling it with a lot of marketing. You're getting OEM quality with these, if not better. So, when considered in that light, as well, these blades really aren't that expensive.
They don't streak or chatter, and even after having them on my car for over a year, they are only streaking a small amount. That's saying something, as these have now made it through two Boston winters.
So, the blades really do last, but will you be happy with them while they do? I think so. They hold the shape of the windshield well, and never flap or vibrate, no matter how fast you're going. The bracket is solid, and worked well on the J-hook in my car. Many other "universal" mounts didn't work so well, notably the ones from the aforementioned Rain-X wipers. The single piece design is also great for those living in cold climates, as it is less vulnerable to ice and snow build-up.
Given that your eyes are the most important safety device on your car, you owe it to yourself to not skimp on wiper blades. But I'm pleased to report that despite the upfront cost, these are actually MORE cost effective than many other premium wiper blades, given that they are the only expensive wiper blades I've ever used that actually lasted longer than the cheap ones.
Tip: the A or the B after the model number (e.g. 22A) refers to the spring force of the blade (i.e. how hard it is to pull it straight). The B applies more force, and would be useful if you have a highly curved windshield. The fact that Bosch offers not just a variety of lengths down the inch, but also two different spring forces, is another indicator of the fact that these are not your average wiper blades. I found that having an A on the driver side and a B on the passenger side works best on my car. If in doubt, just try A all around, and then if you find that the blade is missing spots on the ends of the blade, return the A and get a B.
Last tip: Amazon's database is helpful, but by no means complete. If you think this will fit your car, but Amazon says it won't, ignore Amazon. They say neither blade I have on my car will work, and yet I'm extremely happy with them, as you can tell.
i have watched 'project farm' comparisons on youtube for some time. from batteries to wiper blades i've never had a bad experience following his lead. of all the blades tested by him these came out on top. so i went and gave them a try and am glad i did.
the blades do not come with any spare pieces, connectors, etc. you get get the blades and that's it. there are two means to connect the blades. either the older loop style or snap in place. be aware on the sides of each blade where they connect? you'll see a couple raised lines on the plastic top. press and lift up there. then slide the metal arm inside and finally press that 'trap door' shut.
we've had just a couple snow storms since these were put on. so a combination of snow, slush and road splashback and they work flawlessly under all those conditions. no rain yet due to the time of year but based on results so far i don't doubt they'll do well with that too.
with these i have no missed spots. there is absolutely no streaking plus bonus they are noticeably quieter than the previous blades were in operation.
**TIP every so often take a rag, paper towel, etc. a bit of soapy water or degreaser and run it down and along the rubber portion, get both sides, so as to clean off built up grime. that buildup leads to streaking, noise and degraded performance.
based on my experience with other wipers and these, i would absolutely recommend these to anyone wanting good blades and vision for their vehicle.
- Absolutely no noise
- No smearing
- Best wipers I've ever had in 20+ years of
driving!
