Review on 🚗 Bosch 3397001539 Original Equipment Replacement Wiper Blade Set - 26"/22" Twin Standard | Automotive Wiper Blades (Pack of 2) by James Hova

Mixed rating. Fits great. Ease of installation. Unfortunately, rubber inserts only lasted a few months. I thought I'd be smarter and find replacement inserts like they used to for OEM blades, but guess what, these inserts aren't standard (see right photo with rubber insert around metal core). I'm trying to find a workaround, but damn I'm pissed that the wiper blade industry is forcing us to replace perfectly good wiper mechanisms for $30-$40 or more instead of replacing the $7 insert. What a waste of resources and money! BMW has stopped selling inserts which makes me (a BMW fan) angry. Rapid primer on wiper inserts. There appear to be 4 different wiper profiles (cross sections) labeled AD. The "D" is known as the "square foot" and comes in a variety of widths, typically 6mm for shorter blades (up to 22 inches) and 8mm for 26 inches. 6mm Break to Fit Narrow Refill Rubber Insert - 16" to 22" (sold in pairs) and they fit right in after you release the "claws" on the end which are crimped tightly around the original rubber insert. never mind Using the Trico 47-800 8mm Break for narrow refills from 17" to 26" (sold as a pair) is a bit tricky. Not only do you need to spread the end grip to loosen the rubber insert, you also need to use two needle nose pliers (see photo at left) to spread each grip 2mm (1mm on each side) to fit the 8mm insert to install. This will make the claws slightly trapezoidal, but don't worry, they will work. Making sure the "bands" of the metal insert are aligned, insert the insert into the squeegee blade. Voila! They have $7 refills for both sides. (See middle photo of end result) I have two sets of Bosch blades, one on the machine and the other pre-installed with new inserts for easy changing.
