Perlgurl, I think the ones on your car are Bosch Icons, or something of similar nature.

Thanks MAMONTE

I hated to even ask but they seemed to be similar - and if they were the same I was considering taking advantage of the rebate to get a set for my other car. Work better by far than anything I've ever had. LOL, didn't know what they looked like because I've always got cheaper ones.

I've got 4 years on a set of Bosch Icons. I did clean them up recently with some Emery cloth & rubber preservative I got at Autozone. They seem to work even better after I Rain-ex'd !

I can remember my Dad using Emery cloth on the wiper blades...cleaning them when I was a kid. That was a '59 Biscayne & back when they had good rubber on the blades !! LOL!

I just replaced my Bosch Icons with Trico NeoForms from Meijer. I didn't get the life out of the Icons that I had hoped. I won't buy them again.

They're OK so far. Still trying to find the perfect blade.
