[s-cars] Bosch Icon Wiper Blades

[jpb3]

I have had the Valeo's, they are pretty nice but require modification for
the PS to fit properly.  Not worth the xtra money IMO, in fact for the
winter I put the OEM on with the old Bosch  "regular" blades and they work
better, they just don't look as nice.

I'll stick with the OEM wiper arm, but would like suggestions on the best
refill?
