Bosch ICON fyi.
FYI only. Got the Bosch ICON's at the local auto parts store. Stock 22" front and rear. Left front and rear work fantastic. The 22" stock size on the right "hits" the window seal and makes a clunk noise with each wipe. Not good. I went back and exchanged the blade with a 19" for the front right. No "clunk" and the windows look clean.
I know, I know, it doesn't look OEM, but I think these are much better wipers than OEM and should last longer/work better in snow. As a plus, all of them have aero "wing" shapes to hold them down much like the driver's side on the stock blades and the stock rear. I have grown to think they actually go with the modern look of the 996 quite well.
Anyway, they are much better IMHO and just wanted to save another person the trouble of the right front. I think a 20" would have worked well too, but they only had the 19" at the time.
