Run arm-less blades in the winter. They won't clog with ice/snow. Switch back to regular for spring through fall. Arm-less blades do not wipe as evenly as a blade with a metal frame, actually.

My father worked in Bosch's wiper division for 25 years; this info is straight from his mouth.

 

Thanks for the advice. I went straight for the Bosch Icons and I love them. They look nice, clean well, don't chatter, and should be good for winter driving.

Bought the recommended 16A and 20B. They miss the last inch or two on the passenger side when at the bottom. Hopefully the edge relaxes to the contour after a while (?)

 

I don't drive in the rain

But good to know. I have used the Rain-x on my previous cars and thought about purchasing them for the S, might try the Bosch instead.

 

my rainx's work great

 

rainx seems to unable to get really close to the glass. I always find their blades to keep a thin coat of water on the window. Simple real rubber blades always worked best for me.

On the S I'm running the $6 rubber. On my sedan the bosh uni style So far so good
