Bump for update! Still working great! There was a bit of a dry spell here... and right when it started raining again, these things work like a charm!

Bosch makes a good Blade, but only seems I get 4 months out of them (dirt roads). I have read good things about Silblades and I am going to order a set of those and try em out.

I've used a lot of Bosch parts, all have treated me right. I currently have some Trico blades...teflon I think; they've been on there a month & so far still look & wipe like new.

NOTE: I bought a two of the 17A blades... There is also a 17B. Apparently the B blade is for the passenger side because it has more curve for the edge of the windshield. Oh well. If you are going to get these make sure you use 1 "A" and 1 "B" type.

I found I must retract this statement - During the inclement weather of the past few days here, the Trico teflon wiper blade on the drivers side has begun to chatter on the up-swing. It chatters hard enough to worry me that it might spring the wiper arm & cause it to squeak. I have not gotten out there & cleaned the edge or anything yet but the passenger side has been subjected to the same environment & it's not doing that. ggrrrr

My 'Dub has Bosch blades on it, not Icons but an OEM style blade, they seem too work great.
The Toyota has "Airfoil" blades on it that I took off a parts truck along with the arms, they are gonna have to go, they are so big and bulky that they are going to block my view when I get it on the road.
