I used Bosch Icon on my 2006 RRS for several years and loved them as well. However, the last set I purchased a couple of years back were "jumpy" and became noisy almost right away. I am sure the fact it almost never rains here in SoCal doesn't help. But the Bosch Icons used to be made in Germany. Now they are made in China. That can't be a coincidence.
No more Bosch for me. I was also going to give the Valeo Ultimates a shot next, but having second thoughts now... My OEM blades are nearly 2 years old and have performed very well considering their age. The front ones are still OK. The one in the back is in poor shape. I know how to remove the front ones from the J hook, but haven't been able to figure out the mount of the rear 16" blade yet. Any tips to get that one off?
