So, my buddy swears by these things and the FD could use a new set of wipers, but the Bosch website doesn't list any Icons that fit the FD?
I noticed these are frameless and limp, so I thought I would check before I went a head and ordered a set anyways.

Stock FD wipers are 20" so I take it the Bosch Icon 420A for the drivers side and 420B's for the passenger side should work just fine and dandy?

I've had the frameless wipers in the past, I think they were the Bosch ones.

They're pretty neat looking, but they really work just the same as any wiper blade and wear out just the same as any wiper blade, but costs twice as much. Consumer Reports came to the same conclusion.

I've always been a Costco/Wal*Mart/BJ's wiper kind of guy myself. I just make sure I keep up on the Rain-X and replace the wipers often. My friend was just getting on me, on how truly awesome these Icons are, and I found some pretty good deals on line and thought I'd give them a shot.

As always thanks for your input Dale.

yes sir!
and they are great blades!
got a set on the miata, works great!
other sets to look out for are the Rainx Latitude and some Valeos

I am using one on the driver side. It seems to work pretty well. The wiper doesn't seem to chatter (lose contact with the windshield) at speed like the typical non-stock wiper w/o the aero wing thing.

The issue I have with any generic wipers that don't have the aero wing that the OEM one does is that they all seem to chatter at speed.

I tried the similar Rain-X wiper on the wife's car and don't like it all. Significant chatter at speed. I think I had the similar style Valeos on my old Merc SLK and they were great there.

I'm using the Bosch Icons on my M3. I like them a lot, however I'm not entirely sure they are worth the money.
