Although I did pay more, I'm still happy with the performance so far as they work extremely well.
The only reason why I voted for the Bosch Icons, is because mine lasted 3 years before I had to replace (just the driver's side) I never found that in any other blade before haha

I still have the Rain-X lattitudes on from 1.5 years ago...They are still working perfectly fine, so i'm holding off on putting the Bosch's on until the Rain-x's are shot. But I have the Bosch's sitting in the garage!

You know Chris, I honestly don't know. I've never bought a wiper blade with an A and B...the Bosch's are the first i've ver bought like that. Most you just buy (2) of the same blade, and you're good to go. Since I havent installed them yet, I have not really looked to see what the difference is. Weird.

My Cavalier had 2 different size wipers, one side was a 22" and the other was a 17"...

A is for the Driver's side, and B is for the passenger side.

However on our cars it just doesn't matter. I CAN'T find a difference between the A's and the B's, but I always just buy one of each just because haha.

I think they only refer to cars that actually do a criss-cross with their blades? But either way, you'll be fine.

I never knew some Cavaliers had two different size wipers -- and I drove one (many years ago). Obviously, our Cav didn't. Then again, maybe we didn't have the car long enough to replace them.

My Cavalier was a 2003...all of the 1995-2005 Cavalier's had two different size blades. Grand Am's are the same way...I'm sure other cars have two sizes too. Just depends on the windshield size, and what gets the best coveage for wiping of the rain.
