Bosch Icon Wiper for MM available?

[fastcar]

I ordered 22" Icons for my Marauder from Amazon (I was ordering a lot of stuff, so thought, 'what the hay?'), P/Ns 422A and 422B, thinking they were the right part. :shake:

The ones I received use the wrong attachment method, the 'U' or 'J' shaped wiper arm system.

But my 300A uses a different system, which has a stud that snaps through the blade and acts as the pivot point.

I thought my 95 CV used the 'U' or 'J' shaped wiper arm system. So, I was surprised to see the stud, or post type connection on my MM. Hadn't seen that for years...

I can't find the right P/N for Icon at the Bosch Website for the MM. Has anyone used them before?

I have looked for them myself and after about a month , it seems that they don,t make them for our ride . if anyone knows something else please chime in...

If you are looking for low profile wiper blades, I have had good luck with the Flex-blade style from Silblade. They work fine at higher speeds, and do not streak. They have a 5 year replacement warranty with no questions asked. I looked into the ICONs, and was told they didn't make them for my 03 CV

Thanks for letting me know that, silverstreak. BTW, I LOVE your valve covers - those are the ones I want!

Spruce,

You may have saved me. I checked these things out, and seems almost everyone has a perfectly glowing report. The only thing is, I'm a little bit afraid of getting the wrong ones again! I'll try to contact them direct, and make sure to get the right P/Ns. THANK YOU!

Trico makes one that looks just like a bosch, called the neoform. They fit the pin style thet the MM. I have them on my car and they are just as nice as the icon. You can get them at the same store as the bosch( I did anyway) cost was $2 cheaper than icon. Have a good hoilday.

I checked the receipt, and as I recall, you just buy the 22" wiper and use one of the adapters that come with it.

Here's some pics.

I have been useing the Trico Neoform Beam Blade with Teflon , 22 inch Part # 16-220. They look exactly like the ones in the pictures and work nicely.They are Flexable and I Bought them at Advance Auto.

[SpruceGreen'03]

The Flexblades are available at SOME Napa Stores.

If you call Silblade, they will tell you who carries them in your area.

I tryed to buy them yesterday... auto parts store said n/a for the marauder. they had tricos that fit but i did not buy them. also he said the bosches have two part numbers for drivers side and passenger side because pass side curves up..

Rain-X makes them in that style aswell an can be bought at some pepboys .

I have had my Rain-X blades for nearly a year. Here in FL, they go bad about every 3-4 months, usually. I would recommend them to anyone anytime!!!

BTW, they come with the proper attachments!

That's great. Thanks for the photos. I still haven't called to confirm one blade fits all... I like these blades because the price is less that Icon, it fits our cars, and they have a FIVE YEAR WARRANTY! They are not made of rubber, but silicone, which is much tougher. It also continuously coats your windshield, I hear, with a little silicone as it's used, so you have a permanent rain-x effect. (correct me if I'm wrong). I'll post what I find out about them after talking to them direct. Thanks again.

Phoned Silblade today, and they said P/N 122 is the correct one. Same number for either side. I'm ordering them soon, and will let you know how it goes.
