BOSCH3397118979 Aerotwin Original Equipment Replacement Wiper Blade - 24"/19" (Set of 2) Top Lock 19mm

Instructions:To replace, turn on the accessories, flick the wipers to the on position, and then turn off the the accessories. The wiper blades should come up and stay up for an easy change. If they don't, redo the steps and they should come up. Taking the old ones out is easy, but getting these in are a challenge if you haven't changed the wipers in a long time. If you compare with the old OEMs, these Bosch wipers have an extra ledge / groove that will guide the metal clip in so it requires more force and the old one. If you are consistent with your motions and just go in for the "click" everything will work out alright.Performance:They work great! I didn't even know my wipers needed replacing until I went in for a complimentary checkup at VW. They charged $45 also for a lesser quality product. These were less than $30 and took less than 3 minutes to install. When I tested them I was shocked at how good they were. All streaks were gone and the glass was so transparent that I thought there wasn't a windshield. I haven't seen my windshield looking this clean in a long time.Note:Replacing wipers is good for your windshield as sharp debris and exposure the sun will make the wipers hard and scratch the windshield. For best results, use the wipers when the windshield is wet and clean under the wipers monthly to make sure no debris was lodged under the blade which will cause damage to your $300-$500 windshield.Thoughts:Bosch is a quality product and brand. They are OEM for many German makes so rest assured, these will do the job and are probably the best replacements you can get. Bosch was chosen by the manufacturers who know their cars best. It's best not to second guess their expertise of 1000s of engineers. Most decisions about your car should not be trusted to the average person and their neighborhood guy at Autozone. I've heard of a lot of people using aftermarket parts which affect other parts. Even though a windshield wiper isn't the most critical part, the same concept is true in terms of the longevity of the wiper and quality of performance. I have kept my car stock to the nuts and bolts and it has never broken down on me. Treat it like a lady and it will treat you and your wallet well.

Fits Great. Good quality

The pivot point of the wiper blade is not exactly in the middle. As a result, when you install this you have to be aware of the orientation. "Test fit" the blade first, to make sure you've got it the right way. The wiper holder is purely ABS plastic and it's a friction fit, so you have to pull hard to get the old wiper off (I found nudging it at different angles helped). Installation requires firm pressure to get it to snap in all the way. The wiper cover doesn't sit 100% flush over the wiper, but it's barely noticeable. The quality of the rubber blade is excellent.NOTE: If you got this blade recommended for your car and the frame isn't compatible, there is an option: remove the rubber blade and swap in place on your existing frame. An aged frame will work perfectly fine, as long as the blade pivots aren't stiff. And you can loosen them up with a little WD-40.A tip on blade longevity: Every few weeks or whenever you wash your car, take a moist paper towel and drag it across the blade (pinch and slide) to remove any debris stuck to it. Avoid using your rear wiper if the window is completely dry (the worst thing is for the rubber to drag across dry dirt, which will cause micro-scoring). About twice a year, take off the blade and bring it inside to wash with dish washing soap, to get rid of any micro debris that is stubbornly stuck. Rub your fingers over the blade and feel for any "nubs" of debris that didn't come off. When you do this, your blade will last a very long time. Mine typically go about 4 to 5 years before needing replacement.

These worked pretty good, it's about a year after I bought them and with the large amount of pollin dropping from trees, they need to be replaced.The larger drivers side is getting bloopy in areas and not staying "shoved down" If you know these wipers, that's what they're doing now after about a year, the passenger is good, driver is getting that not contact area in the middle.Bought a pair for my 08 Rabbit and my BF's 09 Jetta, his or still ok but i bought his about 2 months from now 1 year ago so we'll see. Thinking about getting RAIN X just to try but these are the best that Amazon offers that are closest to the stock part.

if you cannot get genuine blades. Really good quality for the price.
