ICON blades are great but a non-OE straight blade hits the cowl panel on the passenger side. The OE passenger side wiper is curved. PO of my car has them and if I ever drive it in the rain I'm going back to OE.

I just bought a set of the Rain-X Repel blades. They work great, but I don't like how they stick up where they connect to the arms.

I'm running with the Bosch Icons through summer and winter months here in Colorado. I have no complaints. Better than anything else I've had. Will buy again when needed.

I've been using the Reflex blades on all my car (911TT also front and back) and have had no problems with them.

It's a slight curve... I recommended the Icons before I noticed the curved blade. My blades are driving me nuts with their chatter across my windshield.

I really like the Icons, the lack of curve on the pass side wasn't something that I ever really noticed, especially since I'm never in that seat.

I still say they're the best that I've used to date and will buy again probably a new set in the spring.

I use the Valeo blades and they have been great through the winter. My TT is a daily driver in a heavy snow area and no issues yet with these wipers. They are also really inexpensive from Tire Rack. I think they have a buy 1 get 1 free offer still going on - $19.95 for the pair.
