Just awed by how strong they were. I dont usually buy the Icons, but I have heard so much about them. When I saw the rebate I just had to try.These blades look good, do their job well. No streaks, and when they go to work, they leave a clean windshield and a satisfied driver.I would buy them again!PS - if your car has a hook as the holder, this blade is for you. Installation took 30 secs in the dark. Just snap, shut and you are done. This fits the Passat 2002 V6 contrary to the guide Amazon has.
