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.

Pros: super awesome, quiet, good longevity

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.

Pros: very happy

Cons: expensive

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

Pros: excellent blades

Cons: adapter does not fit, bulges slightly

Vehicle: Volkswagen
