Super Wipers

[Gerard Jebaily]

I am also testing out the Bosch Icon Wiper blades. AutoZone is selling them at buy 1 get 1 Free after rebate. Each one is 18 bux. I read that the Bosch blades perform better in wind than the new Rain-X blades because they are built more aerodynamic. I have already tried them out in moderate rain, they are very clean sweeping, and VERY quiet. Heres some specs, these are worth the 18 bux and hassle of sending in the rebate form. If you buy the blades make sure you ask the guy at the counter to print you out a rebate form.

i'm also testing the michiline ones... they are basically the same as the bosch in the fact that they have the aero wedge that presses them to the windshield under higher speeds... i love them so far, and i've had them for about 2 months.. i just hope they last longer than the rainX in the Texas heat!
