    Bosch Icon wiper

    i needed to replace my wiper so i went to the autozone and noticed that i liked the way the bracketless wipers look. any of you that have the w203 or others know what i'm talking about.
    anyways i ordered it through amazon.com and it was pretty expensive $28.00 w/s&h.

    i put it on today and it works great, it's way quiter than the older style wipers. i would reccomend if you want to spend that much on a wiper.

    i would recommend this too...i bought one 5-6 weeks ago best wiper i had so far, & it replaced the other Bosch OEM wiper i bought during winter, which worked like crap after the winter...i bought my icon at autozone for like $20
    I can not lose, because even in defeat there is a valuable lesson learned so it evens it up for me

    here in Europe it seems that ICON are called as AEROTWIN, so here is not available that part number!

    It's quite difficoult but does someone know the relevant part number, if they are really the same product?

    thanks a lot!

    Man since when did bosch start making those.. I was looking for that bracketless wiper. The last time I bumped into one for our car was made by valeo. Heard a couple of bad reviews decided to stick with bosch. In fact I just changed the wipers 2 days ago with bosch's Micro Edge Excel. The local stoe here dont sell those.. at least yet I hope.

    Nedad, thanks a lot for the info.

    So should I look to any Bosch 24inch/610mm hook style blades with this new ICON/Aerotwin tecnology!

    thanks I'll look for!

    As per my personal experience I prefer valeo over standard bosch wiper (I mean not Icon/Aerotwin).

    Previous valeo worked well: no noise and good cleaning, unfortunately the replacement (still Valeo) I've replaced last winter is not good as previous

    Now I want to try Icon/Aerotwin!

    Any personal experience on them?
