Wiper blades Bosch or OEM Subaru

Bosch Icons are best.

I’ve had Bosch Ion blades (the same pair) for years now and they’re still super awesome. I’ve never had wiper blades for quiet.

Bosch ICON tested the best after a year of exposure to the elements.

Bosch icon. Pricey but worry free and worth it.

Bosch Icon. I’ve tried them all.

Bosch Icons are good, but can be as few more $'s.

I let the smacking and smearing go a year and then broke down and splurged on Bosch PrimeACTIVEs. Very happy so far. Was $80 for the pair though.

Bosch AeroTwin blades from FCPEuro are superior.

I don't have anything to add other than to confirm that the #6 adapter that comes with Bosch wipers simply does not fit. In my case, I bought the Bosch Snow Driver wipers, and like the OP said, if you install the adapter alone, it fits great, but if you attach the blade, it bulges EVER SO SLIGHTLY and will not fit. So it appears to be across the board with Bosch wipers, not just the Clear Advantage models. I spent hours futzing with it, and no luck. Such a shame, Bosch truly makes excellent blades. All I've ever used, up until yesterday

I tried them out about a year ago (during La Nina).

During a heavy downpour, the wiper part broke from its hook joint and flew away. Had to drive to the nearest supercheap without wipers.

Been using supercheap's tridon wipers ever since (tried a bosch once in a while). Thankfully they have not broken and flown away again.
