On my two previous gen 4 TLs, I replaced the stock wipers with Bosch Icons and I was quite impressed by the beam-style wipers. Luckily, the TLX came with these standard.

Now a little over a year later, I'm thinking of getting replacement blades but Bosch doesn't seem to make the Icon for the TLX. The "best" ones I can find are Trico's, but I'm not familiar with the brand or reputation:

TRICO ForceŽ: High Peformance Beam Blades | TRICOŽ Windshield Wipers

Anyone else's opinion about this?

I went with Valeo:



One blade is 26" and the other is 17".. These things are great in rain, snow, or sleet.

You can replace the rubber section with acura inserts for around $4-5 each.

Here's the link to the parts page, it's the #11 and #17 depending on driver/passenger wiper

Trico makes a good replacement blade. Advance Auto Parts has them on sale every now and then. I like the fact that Trico makes them in Mexico. Bosch used to make them in Europe, but now they come from China.

I confess to being a bit of a wiper freak.
I've only had my 2016 TLX for a week and have had the opportunity to use them in rain and snow and I think they're excellent.

They are the same manufacturer (Mitsuba) who made the crappy plastic-framed OEM blades on my Accord.

I used to run Bosch Icons on that car with good results.
If you wanted Bosch Icons, I don't see any reason why the standard 26A and 17A wouldn't fit.

I will be buying the Acura inserts for this car as I really like the OEM blades and they are dirt-cheap as an added bonus.
