A little Emery cloth...

The ones that came on my car (unknown), I just take some fine emery
cloth & lightly go over the blade surface & then last time I used some
rubber conditioner on them (not that kind!). It worked! It stopped the dragging & squelching & they keep the Windshield fairly clean...

just an update, these are still available until February 28, 2010 and you can get $15.00 back via mail-in rebate from Bosch. I sent in the rebate info on December 9, 2009 and received the actual rebate checks February 4, 2010! I bought 2 sets, so ($17.96 x 4 = 71.84 - $30.00 in rebates & free shipping = $10.46 a blade) and from what Mike (chibi) says they last a long time. hurry up, it is a good offer from Amazon..

However the crack on the upper part of the blade annoyed me so much that I had it replaced. Also they don't have the metal where snow and ice can get into and freeze which prevents them from moving on the windshield properly. And they have a curve in them where the wind doesn't effect them and they still work at good highway speeds.

Mail-In Rebate: Buy 2, Get $15 Back on Bosch ICON Wiper Blades
Buy two Bosch ICON wiper blades by February 28, 2010 and you can get $15 back via mail-in rebate from Bosch.

I have the boschs on my Tahoe and they are great. The guy at Advanced Auto told me what the difference was between the A and B wipers, the B is a passenger side wiper that conforms more to the curve on the passenger side of the window near the pillar. Apparantly that is the only difference.

hey guys, since you're on the subject, can anyone tell me what these are? came on the car, love them, don't know what kind they are to get the same when I eventually have to replace them. I think they look similar to what you are talking about but I can't tell from the amazon pic.

my car is stuck at the mechanic's for another week at least, so this is all i have to go on

The "A" and "B" Bosches look identical, the "B" just has more contouring ability. You can put "A's" on both sides, but it will miss the windshield on the far passenger side.........this is what the Advanced Auto guy told me.
