Bosch Icons

[86_Freak]

Do Bosch Icon wiper blades fit our cars? The only reason I ask is Bosch's website doesn't list them as available for the FR-S, and neither does Amazon or O'reilly.

The wiper arm looks like a pretty standard arm, I wonder why Bosch doesn't say they fit our cars?

If it is a hook type then it should be fine

Yup @go_a_way1 is correct yet again, any j hook adapter type for a 22" for the driver side and 20" for the passenger wiper will work fine. Personally I prefer the PIAA ones:

Here's the 22 inch:

Here's the 20 inch:
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/97050-Si-Tech-Silicone-Wiper-Blade/dp/B004BTDOTK/ref=pd_bxgy_263_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0SDSSC4QJ190NCFAQ JEW"]Amazon.com: PIAA 97050 Si-Tech Silicone Flat Wiper Blade, 20" (Pack of 1): Automotive[/ame]


And if you decide to go with the Bosch icons which are honestly just as good and slightly cheaper:

Drivers side:
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-22A-ICON-Wiper-Blade/dp/B005JU5VH8"]Amazon.com: Bosch 22A ICON Wiper Blade - 22" (Pack of 1): Automotive[/ame]

Passenger side:
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-20B-ICON-Wiper-Blade/dp/B005JU5XOO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452275726&sr=8-1&keywords=bosch+20b"]Amazon.com: Bosch 20B ICON Wiper Blade, 20" (Pack of 1): Automotive[/ame]

Also note Bosch has the "A" and "B" designation A is for the drivers side 22 inch and B is for the passenger side 20 inch

They're both just like the OEM "beam" type wipers except they perform much better and longer almost a year and a half, if it was made without a defect, without streaking your windshield up. Also I know it's weird to say a wiper looks good but the frame less beam type wipers look good on modern cars.
I've had them on for 3 years on my old car even after the silicone coating had disappeared and they still worked fine with only one continuous streak, also if you clean the blades after you wash or detail your car with rubbing alcohol I've noticed they last longer.

Thanks, I can be helpful when I so choose

Thanks for the help!

It is really odd that Amazon says those wipers won't fit my FR-S.....

yea there's something wrong with the amazon search algorithm sometimes, I think they just haven't updated it yet.


Also another option is to refill the OEM blades....

I have a set of the Bosch Icons on mine right now, and con confirm that they fit. 22A/20B

Same here. They seem to work much better than the traditional style Michelin wipers I had before. Can't recommend the Michelin ones. OE wipers were actually quite good in my opinion.

Has anyone purchased these recently? Amazon and even the Bosch website now says to get 22B 20B.

i've never looked at compatibility.

i go into the auto parts store, tell them my make, model, and motor size for some reason.

they tell me the wiper blade size for the drivers and passenger sizes.

then i go to the rack of a million blades and pick bosch icon's in the same dimension.

i ignore their pleas to touch my car, and change the blades myself.

and i leave happy with new wiper blades.
