Bosch Bosch Bosch ICONS! You won't be sorry. Had them on for over a year and they work terrific. Great in the ice and snow and they don't ahve a body to break. Not articulated at all so they won't get frozen up all the time. Be forewarned that they are pricey.

I had Bosch something or the other. Lasted for 3 years (40,000 miles). They still wiped fine when I replaced them, but they were skitting horribly across the windshield at low speeds and I was afraid of them marring the windshield. Replaced them with ICONs and haven't looked back.

I started out with ANCOs and got sick of having to replace them at every oil change... they suck that bad. The Boschs are pricey, but worth it.

I like the anco contours, they won't scratch like the old types if they get bent.

I hated the Bosch Icons, but I have a 2001. The plastic cowl ate them up, so $45 out the window. Or off the window, as the case may be. I LOVE the Anco Aerovantages, but stupid RicerZone stopped carrying them. Asshats.

My rain-x's started to skip and stutter and streak like 3 months after I bought them. Definitely going for something new before winter.
