Owner reviews for wiper blades

Trico force 26 inch and 18 inch also fit perfect on mk7 golf r. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I have Valeo wipers on my B8 currently. They clipped right in with no modifications needed.

I've had good luck with the Bosch Excel+ blades.

Just installed Trico Ice wipers on my car and they fit perfect. Watched the video on the Trico site for narrow arm push button, did the replacement B/C adaptor, threw away the piece they said to do and BAM, fit like a glove. No stealership here!

I just replaced mine yesterday, same ones you got (Bosch Icon 18OE & 26OE). Popped the right adapter on, and were on the car in minutes. It took a bit, but I tracked down the Bosch A282H for the rear. It's on the way, so I'll know in a couple days if it fits, based on the comments on Amazon, it should. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042ETBEQ/ I read somewhere that the OEM blades for the R were made by Bosch - and after comparing the two side by side, I'd have to say they look almost identical. The only major difference was in the clip, but that's to be expected since the Icon's have to use adapters to fit multiple vehicles.

Went to Autozone and picked up some Trico blades. I had to use the second adapter, but it really wasn't that difficult. I'm not sure what the big deal is? It took me less than 5 minutes to change both...

OE Blade pair can be had here for $37.44 http://1stvwparts.com/2016-volkswag...transaxle_automatic_dual_clutch_trans_speeds-oem-oem-wip._blade_5GM998002-item/

Id agree w/GINCH- the OE blades are really nice, albeit pricey perhaps vs the other brands. I get 8-12 months out of a set, no hassle fitment etc etc. Complain loudly enough about the price and my dealer will take 15% off MSRP, which is essentially a garage keepers discount.

Just to make it crystal clear: you can only use the Bosch Icon OE blades that have the "Clearmax 2365" badge on the front of the package. These blades come with a #4 adapter, the older ones without the logo don't, and there is no way to clip/mod them to make them fit.

Wiper Blade Stuff I ended up buying blades for $50 a pair...and by the way never use Rain-X or similar type products on your windshield, it makes your wiper blades clatter
