morrias Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Well, I just went to AutoZone and bought a set of the Bosch Icon wiper blades. They're a beam blade and look like a clone of the Valeo Ultimates. I'll try them out tonight as it's very rainy out there. I wasn't impressed by the trico reflex beam blades. The Bosch's have the aerodynamic wings built in. Autozone also gives you a $15 gift card if you buy 2. They're about $22 for the big blade, and $18 for the smaller one. -Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrias Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Well, they're on, and work very well. They're quiet and definately improvements over stock and the Trico reflexes. so far, I'm liking them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Just FYI, the Valeos are $18 for the big and $17 for the small on amazon.com. No tax and you can usually get cheap/free shipping too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradiso Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Walmart is the devil. Do the world and the US worker a favor and spend a couple of extra bucks someplace else. Thanks for the info on the wipers, I need some new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 what size for the rear wiper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrias Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 It's a 14", and no conventional refils fit, and neither do any of the off the shelf blade assemblies. Subaru decided to build a wierd proprietary blade back there. You'll have to call the dealer and get a refill, they're about $6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
