Just an FYI PIAA sent me an email stating they will be coming out with a new blade called the Sci-Tech wiper. If you want to wait and see how it turns out.

The Bosch Icon wipers don't have a metal frame work for ice to build up in.

One of the most effective things you can do to optimize wiper performance is removing the mineral buildup off the glass. Wipe it down with a product like CLR or Lime Away or even vinegar, wipe clean, coat with Rainex, then the wiper blade of your choice.
