I put a set of Bosch Icon blades on a month or so ago. I think they were 26/18. I bought whatever the parts store catalog called out for size. I may be incorrect. The Icons have been working much better than the factory wipers. No streaks or lines.
Owner reviews for wiper blades
When I bought my car, it had ****ty wipers so I replaced them with relatively expensive Bosch wipers but I was always disappointed with the quality. Then I replaced those with the genuine VW wipers from the dealer that scotts13 mentioned and it's insane how much better they perform. They were cheaper, too.
PIAA 95055 Super Silicone Wiper Blades are the best damn wiper blades I've ever used. Really recommend them.
I went to Oreilly's today and found a set of the Bosch OE style wipers and they fit great. Roughly $25 each. However I think most stores only keep a couple in stock and they're usually in the back, the dude I got them from had to search for them in the back. I've had good luck with Icon's in the past as well, they wipe great and last a long time.
I bought these recently and they clipped in without any problems. They seem to work pretty well, too.
Bosch ICON You have to bite the bullet and spend $50 at autozone for the BOSCH Icons for your year and make. I just bought a pair for my wifes 11' Jetta SEL 2.5. They are also the ones on my 15' Jetta S. They come with a variety of adapters so they will definitely fit whatever style you have.
Go to the closest Autozone and ask them what size wiper blades u need, just length, then find the Bosch icon blades that have the right length with the letters "oe" after it.
You can get the OEM ones from VW. Bosch also sells OE style clip in wipers for the Jetta.
Mine were crap from day 1...left a 4" drivers side streak on first use. Swapped in PIAA Si Techs...perfect since.
I just purchased a set of Bosch Icon wiper blades(19OE & 24OE) for my wife's '11 Jetta and I can't figure out how the heck to put them on. I took off the plastic piece that it comes with and tried to slide them into place between the walls but it seems that they have these little plastic edges that stick out and don't allow me to get the full mount inside.
