Some wiper blades are not aerodynamic and can lift off at high speeds. This causes misswipes and can be dangerous.
Windshield contamination is a common cause for poor wiper performance even if the wipers are still in good shape. Some kinds of contamination, such as tree sap, can destroy the wiping element in a short time. We recommend cleaning the windshield regularly with car wash soap as regular dish soap or hand soap can be corrosive to car paint.
In a recent test, the Bosch ICON™ ClearMax 365 wiper blade rubber proved to be the most resistant to cracking from exposure to ozone than all major competitors’ brands. Cracks in the rubber component cause windshield wipers to wear quickly and require more frequent blade replacements. All blades were subjected to OE specification testing, simulating long-term environmental ozone exposure. Bosch ClearMax 365 rubber meets or exceeds the ozone testing standards for wiper rubber by top OE vehicle manufacturers.
