[s-cars] Bosch Icon Wiper Blades

[LL - NY]

IMHO, the Valeo and Icon blades look like wipers wearing galoshes.

And, as they (the Valeos) were OEM supplied on my friend's Passat, IMHO,
they
range from worse than to the same as the MicroEdge standard blades, at any
speed.

Guess I'll stick to old fashion, money saving MircroEdge.
