Bosch ICON Wiper Blade Replacement

Mario showed us this new slick Bosch ICON one piece wiper blade when he came up last month, since then Joseph and I have switched over and it worked great!! Pretty pricey buy well worth the money. I spent $50 for (2) at Kragen over the weekend to change the wiper blade on my 300E and E55, WOW so much better and my windshield is clean, unlike the mess my old wipers made Kudos to E55Cent!

Also it looks a lot better than the stock wiper blade. See the link below to get more info. For our Mercedes, just buy the 24" wiper, it's a little shorter than stock (25") but it work great.

Yeah, works well but I only paid $28.00 at a jiffy lube type place. I bought it because it looked cool and I didn't want to drive 45miles to MB dealer

It's lighter than the OEM wiper, so I expect .0000001 HP increase next time I dyno the car.

Those little doo-dads don't do much for me anymore. Maybe I'll toss one of those on my E55 when the rain comes. I use Rain-X on all of my glass (exterior) so that helps shed water.
