I am interested in getting some new wiper blades for my 2016 SLT.

 

I have heard lots of good things about the bosch icon series of wipers, but they do not list the icons on Bosch's fitment chart.

 

Have any of you used them in the past. Yeah or nay?

If not what else have you used that works well?

 

Thanks guys

i use Rain-X latitudes and haven't had any issues. A little dirty out of the pack but once i did the "activation" period cleaned them off and they've been mint ever since.

I have used the Icons for several years on multiple trucks. I tried a different brand once (Trico I believe) of the same style blades once and they would lift at highway speeds and streak horribly. Went back to Icons and had no streaking. They are the only blades I buy now.

These are the last ones I ordered. 22OE

 

EDIT: Just realized those are Clear Advantage and not ICON. Either way, I would order 22OE I think. FYI I ordered CAs as Amazon was running a deal. Will go back to ICONs though unless another deal is happening. I seem to go through wiper blades quickly because streaking bothers me.

Thank you very much. That is a good price too! I ordered a set. Hope they don't chatter like the oems do.

I have the Icons equipped right now and they last a life time, when I got my old truck I bought them right away and still had them on when I sold it 2 1/2 years later. They are long-lasting and effective!

This post reminded me I haven't bought new wiper blades since buying the truck in 2015. I just picked up a pair of Icon's from my local automotive store. I just swapped them out and although they "clicked" as they should when installing them, I noticed on both sides that the little square "button" appears to be pushed in on one side but not the other. Is it supposed to be like this (on a slope)? Hope that makes sense. They feel like they're secure but don't want to be missing something here.

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
