Product Description

Bracketless wiper blades, also known as beam blades, are designed without the metal or plastic brackets, joints or hinges of conventional wiper blades. So snow and ice have nowhere to build up. In addition, the patented design of Bosch Evolution features dual precision-tensioned steel springs that distribute more uniform pressure along the entire length of the blade for exceptional all-weather visibility.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic wiper, Made in China
I deducted (2) stars because this product was made in China, whereas other Bosch windshield wiper products are manufactured in Germany or Belgium. Amazon should start listing this information. However, if country-of-origin doesn't matter to you as a consumer, read on.

Bracketless wiper means the rubber blade is not suspended in the ubiquitous metal frame. The blade is attached to a strong yet flexible length of plastic with a bulb in the center to hook your wiper. Unlike traditional wipers, the dual springs keep the blade real taut -- the whole wiper is bowed out of the package -- and it hugs the surface of the window evenly its entire length. Wiper action is butter smooth and quiet, zero streaking.

Good spring/summer/fall wiper. Stick to a metal bracketed wiper for ice and snow where this sort of product does not perform well. In anything other than rain or light snow I give it (2) stars.

Not Impressed
I recently installed 2 sets of these wipers on both my F150 and my wife's Explorer. After an ice storm and 2 snow storms we both decided these wipers are dissapointing at best. These contoured blades are supposed to maintain contact with the windshield in snowy conditions. Well, neither one of us found this to be true. We both spent more time on the side of the road, cleaning the ice/snow off of these, hoping they'd maintain contact with the glass. On my set, after a few times of banging the ice/snow off the blade, the little plastic covers kept opening up. I noticed when I removed these (only 4 weeks old) that 3 of the 4 covers were missing.

Don't be fooled by their cleaner appearance or by their advertising, these are not worth the money.

good product
This is a great product. I was a bit skeptical about it because it didn't have the traditional metal bracket. The curve design makes it stick better on the windshield leaving no streaks. I have the J-hook mount piece. Installation was so easy; you just snap it in. I would recommend this.
