The OEM wipers were never very good, but the bosch are noticeably better.
Owner reviews for wiper blades
Have done the ABS sensors for $14 myself. Brembo rotors and Akebono pads front and back $$245, flush brake lines for $40 and Bosch Icons $23, OEM sparks $20 and the long pliers for the spark plug job $18 (jobs were not at the same time and that is a factor if all was needed immediately).
I have these on my car. By far the superior wiper blade on the market, from my experience. Tried silicone blades and was disappointed (noise, streaks). I do remember the connector you need to use was tight, but it did work. These blades are fantastic, but only last 8 months. I think I can live with that.
Trico Flex work great and seem to last at least a year. My last pair lasted almost three years..
Aerotwin wipers for the GLB 35 perform better than the OEM wipers. They work just as well and the connector looks nicer. I like them better than the OEMs due to better performance.
Changed to Bosch and it’s night and day.
I just can’t believe how bad they are in comparison to the Bosch blades I swapped them for.
the current batch of ICONs suck I guess... I had put a set of ICONs on my MKIII and they worked wonders, all my friends have them on all their cars and they all work great.
yea dude....those wipers are just junk, they're RUBBER not silicone, those rubber ones will wear out in just 1 season while Bosch icon ones are great.
Mine would squeak all the time if they were going just a bit faster than they needed to be. Crazy. Bought some Rain-X ones on Amazon and the issue has been fixed.
