Wiper blades Bosch or OEM Mazda

I live in NorCal. A few years an O'Reilly's employee suggested saving my Bosch for the wintertime and use my Rain-X or Michelin wiper blades in the summer as the UV rays are the biggest single factor in their deterioration. Now using my first pair of Bosch into it's third NorCal winter and still holding up great!

The icons just keep going and don't harden or get shredded as much, i clean them with a solvent (WD40) every few months and they are back to good as new.

Just to update on this for folks still looking Bosch Icon 26OE and 17OE work perfectly, no streaks and comparable or better than OEM.

I got Bosch Icon wipers to replace them and they have the much better beam design without the metal. Pretty expensive though, but OEM are the same price. These Bosch Icon wipers seem less bulky.

The Bosch icon and it’s not even close. The only wipers I put on my car.

I can't recommend this enough, Bosch Icon OE.

I'm another backer if Bosch Icon.

Bosch Icon 18OE and 26OE for the front do fit, but not ideally. They are bit thicker and louder than the OEM and block a bit of the washer fluid spray. But they wipe much better and last much longer.

I bought the same kind and they're streaking after a month as well. What an expensive waste.

I got new Bosch icons on my I5 after reading recommendations on this sub and after less than a month there are multiple streaks on the driver's side blade. I tried cleaning them but same result.
