My Icon wiper blade is already worned, its only been 6 months. Not happy with them at all. I just replace them with the Silblade from Amazon. Not bad for about 16-18 bucks each, about 20 bucks cheaper than the PIAA for a pair. So far so good, wipes clean and very quite, we will see how long they last.

 

Shameless plug here but I offer a silicone blade wiper with a frameless design like the Icon. Better performance from the silicone blade that has silicone impregnated inside the blade that coats the windshield for water beading effect.

I love Icons and I replace them once a year. They get used a lot here in Oregon!
