Anyone know of a good place to get the Bosch ICON wipers in Canada? It doesn't seem like any of the places near me carry them and ebay has failed me. This thread has sold me on them and now I want!

Amazon.com carries them. There is $15 rebate on 2 but not sure if it is good in Canada. Do you have a Costco, I think the Goodyear Assurance wipers there are as good as the Icons.

It is common for cars to not have the same length on each side.

I might check out the Goodyear ones if Costco here has them.

I wasn't clear. You don't need to buy a pair of each. The driver's side is 20" and the passenger side is 18". The number at the end is the length.
The info from the US Bosch site on wipers for the 8.
420A ICON Driver's Side R2 1.3 GAS
418B ICON Passenger's Side R2 1.3 GAS

I found a retailer in Toronto that you can order online from. http://www.precisiontuning.ca/
I just ordered a set, we'll see how it goes!

Proper window cleaning is key to avoid streaks and skipping. Trust me clay your windshield it will make a hell of a difference. BTW im surviving on cheap £3 champion wipers. 1 year on and they work as good as new.

Amazon.com has them with $15 off rebate buying 2. That's the best deal out there. Free shipping no sales tax!

Quick question, I live in England and can't find the Icon's anywhere in this country or from any online seller. Since the drivers side in the US is different to the UK, if I bought the 20" and 18" Icons from the US would they be back to front and not fit?
Thanks
Thanks

Icon's aren't the end all of wipers. I'm sure Bosch makes something similar for the UK. Check out their Web site. Or look for another major brand that makes similar.
