Did I put my Bosch wipers on right??

I know this question is rather trivial to most of you who are fabricating their own light bars or lift kits, but I have a long rainy drive this weekend and I would hate to see one of my windhield wipers fly into an opposing lane of traffic!

I just replaced my factory wipers with these new 24" Bosch wipers, they did not have a loud "click sound" like the factory wipers do when you have them on right, but the only way they seem to be able to come off is if I lift the wiper arm off the window and tilt the wiper 90 degreese so I think they are on right.... BTW they are amazing I ran them for a few minutes on my windshield with some wiper fluid...my windshield is finally clean again!!

I once went to the parts store and bought a set of the bosche wipers thinking that since they were the most expensive ones they must be the best, boy was I wrong! They do work well but I had to replace them after about 2 months because they started streaking so bad I couldnt see to drive in the rain....they work excellently when new but the couple pair of them that I had did not last worth a dang.

I've seen that complaint about the Bosch wipers before. Did they change designs somewhere along the line and now they're OK? Because for the last 4 years I've been using them and not having problems like that. This being the Chicago area, all wiper blades fall apart faster than you'd like, but the MicroEdge blades easily outlast the run of the mill ones.
