[s-cars] Bosch Icon wiper blades...wiper blades

[jpb3]

I 2nd this opinion.

I replaced the OEM's with Valeo's back before Icons were on the market and
were not pleased with them as they left areas of the winshield unswept. The
Icons replaced the Valeo's and work great, much better than the Valeo's or
the OEM's.  I would also look at your arms and spring if you are having
trouble.

On the topic of OEM arms and blades, my S6 has the "air fin" or whatever on
the arm and the PS is definitely convex in both the arm and blade.  So I am
somewhat confused by one of the responses in the original thread about the
PS should not be convex, b/c it is very apparent on my S6 that it is.  Maybe
I am misunderstanding the reply post?
