Best Windshield Wipers 2008 TT Cab

Who makes the best wipers? Any links for online purchase would be appreciated.

All this pain (I mean rain) in so cal is getting old.


Edit / Update - I ordered the Bosch Excel from Amazon for the TT, and based on a consumer reports review, I also ordered a pair of RainX Latitude wipers for the cayenne.

Bosch Excel+. Used them for 15 years on all kinds of cars and they are the best performing wipers I've used, and I've tried more kinds than I can count.

What is the part number of the wiper that fits the 997? I went to the Bosch web site and they say they don't have anything for the 997 or Cayenne. Thanks.

I had no luck on their website either. I was looking for the Bosch Icon blades.

re: Bosch Icon

My OEM wipers measure ~21.5" and it seems that most manufacturers recommend 22" so I'm curious why the 21" would work and also why Bosch says the 22" are incompatible.

Well this what i did on my 997 tts
1-My 07, I used 21 for driver side and 22 for the passenger side, when you put those into action the passenger side leaves a 1/2 inch line on the outer side not wiped on the lower passenger corner.

2- My 10, I used both 21 and they fit perfectly fine, BTW the part # is 421 for the ION.
