    I saw a commercial for these before X-Mas and went and bought a pair ($40 per wiper) and they suck balls. They are supposed to prevent streaking, skipping and repel water. Well they do the opposite, they skip and streak no mater what the weather. Don't waste your money on these pieces of junk.

    I love my 5.0, but a little civilized muscle is a good thing! Especially when it always runs and doesn't leave you stranded on the highway.....

    I just returned these because they were binding up when the wipers went all the way down. I'll stick with my standard rain-x blades

    I've been using the same set of Bosch Icons for almost 3 years now and they have only started streaking in the last month. That was $40 well spent!

    I have had my Bosch Icons on for 1 1/2 and they still wipe the windshield like they were brand spanking new. No streaks, skips, or anything. Yes the best $40.00 I have ever spent on a pair of wipers. I also purchased them for the family members for Christmas presents, so now everyone in the family has Bosch Icons.

    Take a cotton ball and some rubbing alcohol and clean the rubber blade, streaks will be gone.

    I have those exact same wiper blades and I could not be any happier! They work so well. I am going to be getting some for my parents on their cars! Armor All just needs to stick to proctecting the inside of your car
