Clear Perfection
I sincerely believe in being a safe driver and one of the most important parts of any car, are the windshield wipers. I’m a woman and I was able to easily install these in less than 3 minutes. Not only that, but these are by far the best windshield wipers I’ve ever purchased. I honestly have never owned a better pair. I’m not being paid for this review, I bought these with my own money, they are smooth and quiet as advertised. These are my first pair of Bosch MicroEdge Long Life Quiet wiper blades, and they are definitely going to be my go to windshield wipers from now on.

Great Bosch blade, with a caveat
This blade is great. It works perfectly. I only use Bosch wiper blades because they last a good long while for me, and don't chatter or scratch until they're nearly EOL. The caveat is that this 15" blade is the right size to install as the rear wiper blade into a 1999 4Runner, but unfortunately it's not going to work without some modifications. If you're installing it into a different vehicle that accepts standard aftermarket blades for rear windows, order without hesitation. If your vehicle needs a special combined unit that self-stows into a little socket mounted on the rear hatchback, then think twice before ordering this instead of just going to the dealership and getting one. In my case, I wasn't thinking and just ordered this knowing I like Bosch blades and that the size matched. Unfortunately I needed to remove the existing arm, drill out a couple rivets, and retrofit this one in place using a 4mm threaded bolt, lock washer and nut. Now that I've modded the vehicle, I'll forever be able to use 15" aftermarket blades, which is nice, but I've also got an ugly little bolt there too.

Bosch MicroEdge 40710 fits a 2013 Range Rover Evoque (rear wiper)
Just wanted to update that the Bosch MicroEdge 40710 fits a 2013 Range Rover Evoque, despite Amazon (Your Garage) showing that it doesn't. I had initially replaced with an ANCO 31-10, but not long after the wiper judders frequently. Was looking around for a better replacement and stumbled onto this Bosch model but I couldn't get any definite information about the mounting adapters that comes with it. Searching on the internet did show some photos that convinced me that it could possibly fit, so I bought it to try. Received it, read the instructions (yeah it fits), swapped the adapters and installed it on my car. Was initially worried as it seemed longer than the ANCO one but on comparing, the ANCO is actually offset and the BOSCH more closely matches the original (see my photos). Have been using it for the past month plus, no judders so far, IMO out of the box, this wipes clearer and smoother. Attached are some photos of the instructions on the back of the box, and a side-by-side comparison of the 3 different types of wipers that I have changed (glad I kept the original one), hope that helps others as well.

They work perfectly as they should! well made 18"&26" sizes
I have used bosch products for many years without ever a single problem. A few weeks back instead of going with a brand I knew and trusted I went with another ‘no-name’ brand to save a couple bucks. I learned my lesson as they were absolutely the worst wipers I’ve ever used on any vehicle. So they came off the vehicle immediately and I ordered these. The wipers are well made, a metal frame not plastic. The wipers clear the entire windshield with zero streaks, zero noise. Just what I expected to get from bosch. I highly recommend these wipers to anyone. Tip – when installing if you have trouble sliding the wiper on, just pull the blade portion down with one hand giving you a bit more clearance. Then it will slide on easily. I have had this happen on occasion and it is due to them using metal rather than plastic which flexes less.

Great wipers at a great price!
Love these wipers. I have replaced lots of wipers for all of our cars, some have complicated instructions and attachment points, some have liquid you are supposed to wipe on the blades, some have instructions you need to follow to prime the blades for your windshield. These are dead simple, reasonably priced and work well. The engagement point is small and not bulky like other wipers. The first time we used them there was no streaking, no stuttering and they cleaned the windshield perfectly. As we are putting on these at the end of the winter I can't say how they perform in the snow and I haven't had time to ascertain their reliably but initial impressions are excellent!

Decent wiper blade
This is not the correct rear wind shield wiper blade for an 05 volvo v70. It is one inch too long, and does not fit on a volvo rear wiper blade mount. No place i have found lists a single result for a the rear wiper blade for my car that fits oem dimensions with the proprietary wiper blade mount. I installed it on my car with some modification to the wiper blade mount with a dremel. My results from this are that it looks normal, and works as advertised.

Works better on my windshield than a more solid blade.
My previous wiper blades were a newer, heavier, Bosch design that had only one pressure point, and they never worked correctly on my older SUV's windshield - missed spots, streaking. The Bosch MicroEdge 40724 has six pressure points, is lighter and more flexible, and it wipes my windshield better - no streaks, cleans evenly. It must be able to conform to the windshield better.

Bought this for the rear windshield of my GMC Terrain ...
Bought this for the rear windshield of my GMC Terrain. It's worked smoothly so far (been using it for several months). I haven't noticed any sticking or scraping so far. Seems to be lasting longer than the Rain-X wipers on my windshield.

can't go wrong with bosch
I couldn't wait to get this item , my back wiper made a terrible noise and the rubber started to rip, I have bosch windshield wipers, now i have the rear to complete it, does the job great, had a decent snow storm passed winter and my own wiper was just to messed up at this point, but this was able to get it done

No irritating streak/dead spot right in my line of vision!!
These wiper blades are awesome. I drive for a living and replace my blades every 3-4 months, I have tried many, many different brands and these are by far the best I have ever had. I usually end up buying blades at a retail store because I am caught in a rain or snow storm when a blade goes bad & end up being stuck with whatever brand they stock. This time I decided to do a little research and order ahead of time so that I had spare blades ready. I drive a 2003 Toyota Highlander Limited and have frequently had blades that seem to develop an inability to clear the MOST important spot on my windshield, seeming to pull away from the window in the area where the blade attaches to the arm. This has not been a problem with these blades; we have had frequent snow this winter and I have had a clear view every time. I am more than impressed & will continue to reorder these Bosch blades, as long as they keep the price reasonable!
