Wiper Upgrade for 2007 Vantage

Interesting, ok maybe that issue is DB9 specific. Do you have the 24A and 20B installed?
Just trying to figure out which to get.
Thanks

Couldn't tell you which I have. I bought them at Autozone years ago. Seem to work well and look better than the OEM. Honestly though, haven't used them a whole lot because I try to avoid driving in the rain. I've only ever used them when I was already out and got caught in a rainstorm and they have worked wonderfully.

Thanks Christian. Out of all part numbers out of this thread, this were the only ones I found on ebay.
The OEM's are $50 per blade.
Can anyone confirm that the performance is the same or suggestion what is better?

I guess the sizes are the same:
Driver side
24" Bosch Icons 24A
Passenger side
20" Bosch Icons 20B
Does the clip fit without problems?

I meant to ask if there is a difference between left and right side besides the length. A vs B

From Bosch's website:
What is the difference is between A/B/OE on ICON wiper blade packaging?
Bosch ICON blades use exclusive tension spring arcing technology to create a fit that is custom-contoured to the curvature of each side of the windshield. The correct blade for a particular vehicle is based on a combination of the blade length and the curvature of the windshield.
Driver side always has an “A” part number. Passenger side can have an “A” or “B” part number depending on the vehicle. Blades with a “B” part number have a greater curvature specifically designed to wrap around the passenger side window for greater visibility and clarity. Bosch continues its innovation and leadership with the ICON OE Multi-Clip connector, which offers a like-for-like OE replacement. The Multi-Clip features a flexible connector system, simplifying the installation process for all types of vehicles.

Hallo I put "See Trough"on my windshield at speed above 80 miles (130km/h) I switch the blades off.
This water repelling agent does not need wipers at that speed. It looks freaky in the beginning but you get used to it.
The water just fly of the windshield

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I recently did my wipers and I used the Bosch ICON blades, found em on amazon, they work awesome and look nice too
driver side was the 24A http://amzn.to/2mJCB9b $16
passenger side was the 20B http://amzn.to/2lLjrjL $17
The driver side one was kind of a pain since its difficult to remove the existing ones due to the hood being in the way, but after snapping off the old clip on the god awful blades that come with the car it wasn't too hard wiggling it out. Passenger side was a breeze.
I don't ever plan on driving my car in the rain but good to know that my blades won't be scratching my windshield (they were totally shot and the rubber was practically falling off the blades!)
let me know if you want pictures to show how the ICON's look
