Bosch ICON Wipers -- Do they sell refills?

[chuyler1]

I bought a set of ICON wiper blades a several months ago. They are starting to streak so I was wondering if they sold refills (you know, the rubber piece).

It seams rediculous to pay another $40 to buy two more. They didn't last any longer than the $7 ones I can get a Walmart. The only advantage was that the snow didn't stick to them (but they sell other snow wipers that are still cheaper).

Anyway, I noticed that Tire Rack has buy-one-get-one-free on Valeo wipers. That would save me a few bucks. Anyone used those before?

It does seem rediculous doesn't it?
Of course, that gives them more $$ to play with.

I've got Valeo's on my car, and think they're great. I've only had them for about 6 weeks now, and they're doing fine so far.

Maybe it's not worth your time, but you should call Bosch and tell them these wipers only lasted a few months. I bet they'll send you a new set or refund your money.

I use Bosch Mirco Edge Excel on my cars. They do a great job and refills are available.

Hmm, maybe, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I don't have the receipt anymore to prove when I bought them though.

They might be able to do a "one-time exeception" without a proof of purchase. Who knows? The worst they can do is say, "No."
