Not long after I got the car, I felt the wipers needed to be replaced.  So I purchased a quality set of replacement wiper blades.  While they were not factory items, they were a good brand and seemed OK.  Then the weather got cold and snowy and I found that the frames that hold the wipers would lose flexibility and the wiper blade did not make good contact on the windshield.  This lead to streaky wiping and times when some parts of the window would not be wiped at all.  This made it difficult or even impossible to see and I would have to stop and mess around with the wiper blades.  They can be seen through the windshield in the picture below:

This was unacceptable.  I recalled seeing a new style wiper blade in the store but had been reluctant to purchase them because mine were so new and because I was not convinced they'd adequately conform to the windshield.

But since I was having problems I decided to give them a try.  About this time a friend with a BMW happened along and I noticed she had them on her car.  They came with the car.  I asked how they worked and she commented that they were great.  So I figured it was time to try them out.

As luck would have it I purchased them on a night with freezing rain.  This is the ultimate test of wiper blades.

I installed them and found them superior to anything I have used for a long time.  If you like they uncluttered look of simple things, you might find they even look better than the old-style wipers!  You will need one 20" blade and one 22" blade.  Links for online purchase of the comparable Bosch Icon blades (same design and performance) are below.
