Bosch Icon for me.

I also pick up both wiper arms so they are in the lock upright position when i plug my truck in at night, Keeps them from freezing to the windshield and makes it easier to clear the snow off with the wipers out of the way.

I bought the same one's, they are high, but so far the work better than anything I have had on my truck for the last 8 years! They are supposed to last 3 times longer? We will see.

We don't get the weather here that some of you get. Last winter I installed the Rain X brand frame with wiper, along with the Rain X formula to the windshield and to the bottle. It works great in the rain. Not sure in the snow though. Country

Anco for me also. Tried the Rain-X and I agree, they sucked.

24" Bosch Icons again here on both my Truck and my Excursion. Best performing & longest lasting blades I've ever had.

Jason- Bosch Icons for me. about $25 each not on sale, but they work great. Have them on my wifes car. The work great in windy climates or highway driving since they are designed to be "pressed" down onto the windshield. my .02

I went to Wally world today and just bought the Anco's for $4.47 or something like that. I almost boaght the tripple edge but something made me put them down. I wanted to try the Michelins (even though they are French) but they only had 20" and I wanted to upsize to 22's. I'll see how the Anco's do.

You can run 24" on our trucks they just about clear the whole windshield I run some cheap winter blades I change them twice a year since I do alot of plowing in the winter.

Wink

Whats the deal with two different blades on our S/Ds?? I just bought a set of Bosch Icons from AutoZone @ buy one get one free w/mail in rebate.
The Bosch #s 420A for drivers side and #420B for the passenger side.
Can I really go to a 22" or 24" blade?? I haven't removed these from the package yet but I'm assuming they are 20"??? does this seem right??

Yeah, return those 20's. I don't know why Ford doesn't do it, but 24's are just perfect. They virtually eliminate the sharkfin in the center!
