Bosch Icon Wipers slight warning
If you decide to go aftermarket on your wipers, not that on my 2013, the recommended 28A/18B combo bump into each other when at the bottom setting causing a thump.
I just put a 26A on the driver's side to see if that works okay. If not, I'll go back to OEM / Denso wipers.

My local parts place told me it was 28" and 18" as well. They did the same thing and rubbed together when in use, the driver side was also close to the roof above the windshield. Switched to a 26 and all is well.

Yep 26 works fine.
Bosch has it wrong in their system (and so does Amazon).

I need to change mine - are the inserts only available at the dealership? Or can they be purchased elsewhere?
