They look superb, I'm waiting for them to become available here, do they use the standard windscreen wiper arms? |

I'm thinking of ordering from the "amazon" link above .... Bosch Icon ....
Yes they use the standard arm! Although the picture shows a different arm for the Aero Twin! .... I asked the local Bosch Service around the corner and he said "Standard Arm".
Quick click.... Just got to find the right size 19,20,21,22,24,26 ??????
680mm = 26 inches .... so what does the ML take?....
I remember "redeye" mounted the "Aero Twin" some time ago ... must ask him if he changed the arms also!...

This is what I found "Bosch TWIN 899S 550/550mm" (i.e 21")
Not sure but I think the rear is 700mm! (29")
That means my link is
Front:

I just measured my rear wiper which is 430mm and the front are 550mm, dividing by a factor of 25.4 gives 17 inch and 22 inch respectively; note I always round up rather than down as new ones are never longer than specified and I have bought ordinary Bosch before in those lengths, it was just they didn't wipe as well as the OEM ones. |

Pleubner,
I bought the Bosch Icon's
They are both 22in for the front.
They snap in easily.
Works PERFECTLY.
Best wipers I've bought.
I wish I could put them on the BMW.

I have the ICON’s also (front and back). I went to the local Advance Auto parts and bought them - they looked up the size for me in their application guide. They work great, no problems at all with chatter at high speed. |

I bought them 2 weeks ago also. One more thing to be aware of besides the size is that they come LEFT and RIGHT sided. You have to buy the correct orientation and size.
They do work well although they are not cheap. It also took a bit of getting used to since they are so different looking, like this black mass on the windshield. Now I'm thinking a lower profile wiper arm would look even better. |

When ordering What do I ask for ? A 22" set for the drivers (left) and passengers (right) side ?...... what about the 17" back one? .... Is that specifically marked?....

The front wipers are the same sided. I'll look at the box tonight as I need to use the car and can check the trunk where I left the trash a few weeks ago. There is a code letter and number that tells size and orientation.
Didn't do my rear wiper. |
